If you wanted to reduce the code bloat for production, would this do?

var supportsPreload = (function() { try { document.createElement("link").relList.supports('preload'); return 1 } catch(e) { return 0; }}());

@triblondon I think, better solution is: var supportsPreload = (function() { try { return document.createElement("link").relList.supports('preload'); } catch(e) { return false; }}());
