Slow internet connections can be a real drag. This is particularly true when it comes to loading web pages. Wouldn’t it be nice to have search results pre-loaded, so when you click on one the website just comes up instantly?

Google’s doing just that with Instant Pages, an add-on that comes included with the latest stable version of the Chrome web browser. Using the Google Instant feature that shows suggested search results as you type them, the Instant Pages plug-in will automatically pre-render the top search result that appears. If you click on it, the page should load instantaneously, as opposed to taking the typical two to five seconds.

This can really speed up your browsing. Of course it all depends on just how accurate Google Instant Search happens to be for you, as well as the likelihood of you choosing the top search option on a consistent basis. Unlike Google Instant Search – which some users have admittedly found annoying at times – Instant Pages shouldn’t cause any irritation whatsoever. Either you click on the top search result and get an instantaneous page load time or you choose another option and have to “suffer” through the normal wait time of a few paltry seconds. In the end, it’s a win-win situation for Chrome users all-around.
