1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions; and
one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to;
cause, after an access to a server, display of a first set of one or more representations of a first set of one or more hyperlinks without any first-set-related images used in the display of the first set of one or more representations in connection with a web page that includes a second set of one or more representations of a second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, wherein the second set of one or more representations are initially hidden, and the second set of one or more representations take the form of hypertext including one or more textual representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks;
allow receipt of a first input from a user including hovering that indicates a selection of one of the first set of representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks, a detection of the hovering being implemented without Java;
cause, in response to receiving the first input from the user indicating the selection of one of the first set of representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks, a substantially immediate display of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page such that the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks are displayed in a menu in a same window as a corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks, and at least partially below the corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks;
allow receipt of a second input from the user;
cause, in response to receiving the second input, a visual emphasis of at least a portion of the web page;
allow receipt of a third input from the user indicating a selection of one of the second set of representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks; and
cause, in response to receiving the third input from the user indicating the selection of one of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks, navigation to a destination corresponding to the selected one of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks;
in response to the navigation to the destination corresponding to the selected one of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks, display content of the destination simultaneously with the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks, so as to allow continued interaction with the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks and continued interaction with the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks while the content is simultaneously displayed, for additional navigation to at least one additional destination and display of additional content, while the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks is simultaneously displayed;
wherein both the display of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks and the display of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, are performed without requiring an additional access to the server.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for causing display of a first set of representations of a first set of hyperlinks. In operation, a first input from a user is received indicating a selection of one of the first set of hyperlink representations and causes, in response to receiving the first input, display of a second set of representations of a second set of hyperlinks. Further, a second input from the user is received indicating a selection of one of the second set of hyperlink representations, and causes, in response to receiving the second input, navigation to a destination specified by the selected one of the second set of hyperlink representations.
