In the Google search page use case (if that's the case you are talking about?) the resulting pages generally don't share a "template". This means that they have to make a best guess at which page to load, and if they guess wrong the prerendering was for naught. However in some cases we can do better than that by loading a template page that can be used for multiple of the search results. And even better, we can do it at a dramatically lower cost since we don't have to worry about implementing the AI for guessing which result the user is going to click. Also note that this isn't just useful for search results. Where it came up for FirefoxOS is in the contacts list, where it's likely that the user is going to press one of the contacts, but guessing which one is unlikely to be successful. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
