Abstract
Browser systems and methods of loading/rendering a webpage include preprocessing the web document (HTML page) using speculation/prediction techniques to identify the resources that are likely to be required from an incomplete set of information, and requesting/pre-fetching the resources that are determined to have a high probability of being required for proper rending of the web document. The speculation/prediction techniques may include the use of heuristics to improve the efficiency and speed of document loads and network communications.
