IMPROVING ACCESS TO NETWORK CONTENT

摘要

A method and system for improving access to network content are described. Aspects of the disclosure minimize the delay between a navigation event and a network response by prerendering the next navigation event. For example, the method and system may predict a likely next navigation event during web browsing to preemptively request content from the network before the user selects the corresponding link on a web page. The prediction operation may identify correlations between metadata associated with a navigation history. The metadata may include the relationship of the selected navigation events to a web page. By making predictions using link page relationships links may be accurately predicted in circumstances where two links share common relationships to their source page but different destination addresses.
