+### Destination PreLookup Check
+
+In order to decrease the amount of unnecessary calls to non-existent destinations, the `DestinationService` performs a pre-lookup check when calling a single destination through `tryGetDestination()` by default.
+This check first searches for the desired destination in the list of all available destinations (via a call to `DestinationService.getAllDestinationProperties`).
+It will fail the `tryGetDestination` call without actually calling the destination directly if the destination is not present in the response of `DestinationService.getAllDestinationProperties`.
+
+:::info Regarding Fragments
+This check does not account for fragments.
+A non-existing fragment will still lead to an HTTP call and subsequent `DestinationNotFoundException` unless the additional header `{@code X-fragment-optional: true}` is set via `DestinationOptions`.
+:::
+
+If that behavior is not desired it can disabled via
+
+```java
+DestinationService.Cache.disablePreLookupCheck();
