Google Chrome now accounts for nearly 25% of all web browsers on the internet.


What is Google Instant?

Google instant is a feature in the Google Chrome browser designed for getting users faster search results and faster page load times. When it finds a match to a search that it believes you will click on, it will pre-load that page so that when you click on the link it seems to load instantly.



Using Google Instant on your site

You can use this same technology on your website by specifying what pages you think your viewer will almost certainly click on.  Just include the following code within the <head> tag.

<link rel="prerender" href="http://example.com/page2.html">


You can try it out yourself by visiting our homepage and then clicking on portfolio.
