If you are a Web developer and working on a Full Stack application, you might have notice that the browser ( in my case Chrome) does send prefetch requests to your API endpoints before the actual API calls. This is actually useful to improve performance but this can be very confusing when you are debugging applications from the front-end to the back-end and monitoring API calls in the network tab. Prefetch requests just clutter the network tab and we miss our actual XHR request to see what is happening....
