Chrome version 103 features new technology for preloading and rendering content that can enhance website loading speed.
The new Prerendering option, named ‘Prerender 2’, replaces NoState Prefetch, witnessed on the previous versions of Chrome. It is said that the NoState Prefetch can speed up website loading, but it can’t process dynamic content.
Steps to Load Websites Faster in Chrome Browser
Regardless, the new Prerender 2 can render pages in advance, and it’s said to consume rarer resources. This Prerender 2 option is already available on the Chrome browser mobile version but has arrived even on the desktop. Here’s how to allow the new prerendering option in Chrome.
First, all you need to do is to launch the Chrome browser. Next, click on the three dots in the top-right corner and choose Help > About Google Chrome. This will update your Google Chrome to the latest version.
Once updated, type in Chrome://flags on the address bar and press Enter. This will straightly take you to the Chrome Experiments page.
Upon getting to the Experiment page, type prerender in the search box, and then you need to enable three flags:
- Prerender2
- Omnibox trigger for prerender2
- Prerender search suggestions
To do so, select Enabled by clicking the drop-down menu. Once enabled, click Relaunch at the bottom right corner to restart the Chrome browser.
This will allow Prerender2 on your Google Chrome browser. You will now witness increased page loading speed, and your device will load websites faster than usual.
Note: If you don’t see the Prerender2 flag on Chrome’s Experiments page, you need to update the Google Chrome browser. The feature is available for the latest Chrome browser only.
