Abstract
Disclosed herein is a technique for storing and managing a number of resources and sub-resources associated with web pages in a cache implemented by a web browser. Metadata associated with the sub-resources is captured and stored in the cache. The metadata can include relationship or dependency information associated with a main resource and the sub-resources associated with the main resource. The previously captured metadata is used to predict any sub-resources that will be needed to properly display the web page and the predicted sub-resources are requested from the web server concurrently with a request for the main resource associated with the web page.
