Microsoft Details The New Pre-Render Option In IE11 To Speedup Web Browsing

Microsoft Bing team today detailed the update they have worked with IE 11 team to speedup the search experience in Windows 8.1. Users spend most time on search tasks by doing some kind of research that requires multiple queries and visiting multiple pages. The new pre-render tag in IE11 has allowed the Bing to load the intended web links even before you click them therefore allowing you to access the site at speed when you actually click it.

Today we are introducing an improvement available for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) that helps you accomplish your search tasks even faster. The next time you perform a search in Bing using IE11, you’ll notice that when you click on the top result, the associated page is almost instantly rendered. To achieve this, we leverage IE11’s pre-render tag to automatically download and render the top result page in the background – it does this in a streamlined fashion taking care to not waste your bandwidth and battery life.

With pre-rendering, you can now enjoy a faster end-to-end search experience, whether you are trying to navigate to a popular web destination (e.g. “New York Times”) or looking for movie reviews (e.g. “Django Unchained reviews”). Because half of people click on the first result on the search results page, pre-rendering that page is an important addition in our quest to improve the overall task completion time.
