Abstract

Content pre-render and pre-fetch techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a likelihood is predicted of subsequent navigation to content associated with a network address based at least in part on monitored navigation performed by a computing device to one or more network addresses. A determination is then made whether to cause the computing device to pre-fetch and pre-render the content based at least in part on the prediction.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions being executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to:
collect data corresponding to navigation sequences performed by a user;
use the collected data to identify one or more navigation characteristics of the user, the one or more navigation characteristics describing a context of at least some of the user's navigation sequences;
and
predict a next network address that the user will navigate to and pre-fetch a particular website associated with the next network address, wherein predicting the next network address is based on at least:
the one or more navigation characteristics of the user;
and
a determined number of links that are displayed within in a current website that the user is viewing and that all point to the same next network address for the particular website.
