A warning has appeared on Frontity sites. Is it relevant?

Hi, I notice that a new warning is appearing on all the site made by Frontity.

Steps to reproduce the warning:
Just inspect the console of frontity.org or twentytwenty.frontity.org. It also appearing on my sites.

This is the alert i’m getting:

A preload for ‘https://frontity-org-frontity.vercel.app/static/frontity-org.module.66396d185f6e20f940f3.js’ is found, but is not used because the script type does not match.

The resource https://frontity-org-frontity.vercel.app/static/frontity-org.module.66396d185f6e20f940f3.js was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window’s load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate as value and it is preloaded intentionally.

is it something we should worry about or is just some warning that doesn’t have any effect on the performance of the site?

Kind Regards, Hussein Lababidi

@luisherranz any idea what’s going on here?

Hi @Hussein, thanks for opening this thread.

The issue is related to recent changes in Chrome. A bug has been opened on their tracker 1178198 - chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail and we’re also closely investigating it in this issue JS modules with `<link rel="preload">` are requested twice · Issue #740 · frontity/frontity · GitHub.
Regarding the performance side of it, I haven’t seen any metric that would suggest that there’s a degradation.

In any case we are closely monitoring the development of this. We will keep you posted in here as well.

Have a great one!
