Abstract
A method and system for improving access to network content are described. Aspects of the disclosure minimize the delay between a navigation event and a network response by prerendering the next navigation event. For example, the method and system may predict a likely next uniform resource locator during web browsing to preemptively request content from the network before the user selects the corresponding link on a web page, where the network content includes a second portion including an advertisement and a first portion that does not include the advertisement. Responsive to the request, the first portion of the network content is provided without the second content. When a user selects a navigation event associated with the network content, the second portion for display is provided to the user with the first portion. The methods and systems describe a variety of manners for prerendering content and managing and configuring prerendering operations.
