1. A method for reducing web page load time, the method comprising:
- receiving, using one or more computing devices, cursor information regarding an amount of time a cursor is hovering within a region of a web page, the region being associated with a selectable item on the web page;
identifying, using the one or more computing devices, an adjustable threshold time based on speculative information regarding a browser history associated with a user, the adjustable threshold time indicating a given period of time for the user to select the selectable item;
determining, using the one or more computing devices, whether the cursor is hovering within the region of the web page for the adjustable threshold time based on the cursor information; and
when the cursor is determined to be hovering within the region of the web page for the adjustable threshold time, generating, using the one or more computing devices, instructions to perform a first speculative action on a URL associated with the selectable item without modifying underlying code of the web page associated with the URL;
wherein adjusting the adjustable threshold time is determined dynamically based on the speculative information.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques for reducing web page load time are provided. An exemplary method for reducing web page load time includes detecting, in a browser, a cursor in a region of a web page. The region surrounds a selectable item associated with a URL. The exemplary method includes determining whether the cursor is present in the region for a threshold period of time. The exemplary method further includes performing a speculative action when it is determined that the cursor has been present in the region for the threshold period of time, without modifying underlying code of a web page associated with the URL.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which computer readable instructions of a program are stored, the instructions, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving, using the one or more computing devices, cursor information regarding an amount of time a cursor is hovering within a region of a web page, the region being associated with a selectable item on the web page; identifying, using the one or more computing devices, an adjustable threshold time based on speculative information regarding a browser history associated with a user, the adjustable threshold time indicating a given period of time for the user to select the selectable item; determining, using the one or more computing devices, whether the cursor is hovering within the region of the web page for the adjustable threshold time based on the cursor information; and when the cursor is determined to be hovering within the region of the web page for the adjustable threshold time, generating, using the one or more computing devices, instructions to perform a first speculative action on a URL associated with the selectable item without modifying underlying code of the web page associated with the URL; wherein adjusting the adjustable threshold time is determined dynamically based on the speculative information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A processing system, comprising:
-
a memory for storing a browser history, and one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to; receive cursor information regarding an amount of time a cursor is hovering within a region of a web page, the region being associated with a selectable item on the web page; identify an adjustable threshold time based on speculative information regarding the browser history associated with a user, the adjustable threshold time indicating a given period of time for the user to select the selectable item; determine whether the cursor is hovering within the region of the web page for the adjustable threshold time based on the cursor information; and when the cursor is determined to be hovering within the region of the web page for the adjustable threshold time, generate instructions to perform a first speculative action on a URL associated with the selectable item without modifying underlying code of the web page associated with the URL; wherein adjustment of the adjustable threshold time is determined dynamically based on the speculative information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
