How to pre-load JS files?

Question

So I have a website, that has a configurator, where you can configure your own product. The configurator website needs additional .js files, like dist.js and libs.js. Both of those files are around 2mb's each.

My question is: how can I start downloading those files on the landing page, so that when user goes to /configuration.html, he already started downloading those files?

Simply embed them, so they'll be downloaded, and ensure they're cacheable…? — deceze, Sep 27 '16 at 08:38
Why your JS file so large? Can you trim it down / compress it / remove useless stuff? — Raptor, Sep 27 '16 at 08:39

You need define the file in your HTML: <script src="yourfilename.js"></script> Be sure to put .js at the end otherwise it wont work.
