Methods for prerendering and methods for managing and configuring prerendering operations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, over a network, a request for network content, wherein the network content includes a second portion comprising an advertisement and a first portion that does not include the advertisement;
receiving, over the network, an indication that the request is prior to a user selecting a navigation event associated with the network content;
in response to receiving the indication, providing, via the network, the first portion of the network content without the second portion;
determining, using one or more processors, whether a user selected a navigation event associated with the network content; and
when a user selects a navigation event associated with the network content, providing, via the network, the second portion for display to the user with the first portion.

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.

7. A system comprising:
-
a memory; and one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to; receive a request, over a network, for network content, wherein the network content includes a second portion associated with an advertisement and a first portion that does not include the advertisement; receive an indication, over the network, that the request is prior to a user selecting a navigation event associated with the network content; in response to receiving the indication, provide, via the network, the first portion of the network content without the second portion; determine whether a user selected a navigation event associated with the network content; and when a user selects a navigation event associated with the network content, provide, via the network, the second portion for display to the user with the first portion. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors; wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; provide, via a network, a request for network content, wherein the network content includes a second portion associated with an advertisement and a first portion that does not include the advertisement; provide, via the network, an indication that the request is prior to a user selecting a navigation event associated with the network content; in response to providing the request and the indication, receive the network content with the first portion and without the second portion, and loading the first portion into the memory without displaying the first portion; in response to a user selecting a navigation event associated with the network content, receive the first portion of the network content, via the network; and display the first and second portions of the network content. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
