Google works out how to make Chrome faster

Stefan Mileschin · 29th January 2017, 13:56

Google announced that it has worked with Facebook and Mozilla to make page reloads in Chrome for desktop and mobile about 28 percent faster.

The big idea is that if you can cut down the number of network requests the browser makes to see if the images and other resources it cached the first time you went to a site are still valid you can speed things up rather a lot.

Writing in his bog, Google engineer Takashi Toyoshima said that users typically reload pages because they either look broken or because the content looks like it should have been updated. When browser developers first added this feature, it was mostly because broken pages were common. Today, users mostly reload pages because the content of a site seems stale.
