Abstract

Technologies for pre-action execution include a client computing device to request a resource from a server and receive content from the server including the requested resource and one or more pre-action hints. Each of the one or more pre-action hints identifies a suggested pre-action to be taken by the client computing device prior to receipt of a corresponding user request to perform the corresponding suggested pre-action. The client computing device determines a likelihood of success of one or more pre-actions based on historical behavior data of a user of the client computing device, wherein each pre-action corresponds to at least one of the one or more pre-action hints. The client computing device selects a pre-action to execute based on the determined likelihood of success of the one or more pre-actions.
