Google demoed its new Instant Pages feature, which loads searched items instantly instead of in the 3-5 seconds it usually takes to load a Web page. How does Google do it? While you’re perusing the list of results it presents you, Google algorithms are taking educated guesses about which results you’ll click and pre-loading those pages. Then, when you do click, they’re already there.

The new feature is the next logical step from Google Instant, which gives search results even as you type into the Google search box, and is also powered by Google’s prediction algorithms. “The good news is that we’ve been working for years to develop our relevance technology, and we can fairly accurately predict when to prerender,” explains Google Fellow Amit Singhal in the official Google blog ^[1] (once you scroll down a bit).
