By that time, it's too late to do anything about it. Yes, can do things like minimize the effect of pages that make AJAX requests to the server, but it really doesn't address the issue of skewed traffic numbers from pages that are pre-rendered.

It can also be used to prevent JavaScript-based tracking like Google Analytics. However, unless Chrome sends a different user agent string when prefetching, log-based analytics will still be inflated.
