After Google Instant, Now Instant Pages

After Google Instant, which guesses at what a user is going to type next when conducting a search, Google now is adding "Instant Pages" that do the same thing for whole web pages. Instant Pages fetches the top search result and keeps it ready in the background while a user is choosing which link to click, saving perhaps two to five seconds on typical searches.

Let’s say you’re searching for information about the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, so you search for "dc folklife festival." As a user scans the results, deciding which one to choose, Google is already prerendering the top search result. That way when the user clicks, the page loads instantly.

Instant Pages will prerender results when we’re confident you’re going to click them.
