What is Google Instant pages and how does it work


Google has just announced a new feature in it's latest stable version of Chrome. With instant pages Google now pre-renders pages in the background just as a users is entering a search query. These pages are the ones that Google feels quiet confident will be the ones users are looking for. This bring a whole new meaning to browser speed since the page seem to load instantly. This happens because of a technology called prerendering and the fundamental idea behind it is, a website might be able to predict with reasonable accuracy which wbepage a users is likely to click on next. So, before that user actually clicks on that page it is already on it's way. So when you actually click it, it seems to download instantly. So Google Chrome does all the work and fetches the sub-resources and does all the work necessary to display the page. Hence it loads instantaneously.

Although Chrome uses prerendering it is also available to any other website to use. Check out the video to know more. Please add your comments and suggestions.
