It’s now 28 percent faster to refresh a page on Google Chrome, according to a blog post from the Mountain View, California-based company.
The tech giant said this improvement is possible due to changes made in how its browser handles what is known as “validation.”
Until now, every time a user visited or revisited a page, Chrome needed to validate hundreds of variables. In the latest version, only the “main resource” needs to be verified — or in other words, things that may have been changed and need to be validated.
The video below compares reloads in Chrome before and after this update. In other Google news, the company is currently working on showcasing original Canadian films on YouTube.
