browser have a html tag to pre-connect to hosts, also bun (a competitor to nodejs) added support for pre-connecting to hosts, like databases, http-hosts etc.
the benchmarks shared by the bun team (see above links) look like there is a considerable amount of time to be saved, in case the connection is used often enough/the hosts have enough distance in between.
I wonder whether PHP could also provide such kind of startup-time pre-connect things so we don't need to re-establish connections at every request.
DNS resolution or TLS connection handshakes could already be completed before the PHP script beeing run even knows it will need it later
