FasterWeb: Boost Your Browsing Speed

"FasterWeb" is a Chrome extension that uses just-in-time preloading to speed up your web browsing. By preloading pages before you click, it reduces loading times significantly, particularly for pages on the same site. The extension also enriches search results by adding a smart search widget alongside them. With features like selective preloading and a focus on user experience, FasterWeb—formerly FasterChrome—offers a faster browsing experience while supporting developers through situational ads.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

FasterWeb uses just-in-time preloading, which preloads a page right before you click on it. In addition, FasterWeb enriches search results by adding the smart search widget beside the search results.

The FasterWeb works best on pages on the same sites. Pages to external sites are still faster but more is needed to be noticeable.

How it works: Before clicking a link, hover your mouse over it. When you have hovered for 65 milliseconds, there is one chance out of two that you will click, so Faster Web starts preloading at this moment, leaving on average over 300 ms for the page to preload.

Pages that trigger an action (such as logging out or deleting something) are excluded. (FasterWeb won’t preload pages with a “?” in their URL.)

FasterWeb — previously called FasterChrome — is based on instant.page, a library that you can add to your site in just one minute to give it the same speed boost.

ADS When using FasteWeb, you may encounter ads for other extensions and affiliate links. These situational ads allow us to develop the product and make it free.
