Still obsessed with speed, Google has shared new information on the fact that it has improved the way it loads the JavaScript files in the latest version of Chrome. The idea behind this new process is to load simultaneously to begin analyzing them.
The "streaming script" as called the search giant in the version 41 of Chrome, allows the browser to handle scripts asynchronously , and when downloading files begins, not after it completed. Previously, the browser would download the resource, and then analyzed the files step by step. That is, the CPU was underutilized.
This improvement, although small on paper, means that the pages can load up to 10% faster than before . This is a huge win! Google notes on its blog that it will be "particularly effective on large scripts and slow network connections" . This is important for mobile users, especially when running on slower connections such as 3G or less.
The cached code is also used in version 42 of Chrome (beta) , in order to help accelerate the sites you visit frequently. Google says that, traditionally, the browser compiles JavaScript code on a page on each visit, but with the new version of Chrome, it stores a local copy of the compiled code to run faster on frequently visited sites.
Google touts this technique allows to save up to 40% of the compilation , while reducing the energy required for our mobile devices, thus gaining autonomy. So this is great news for everyone.
In addition to these impacts, Google noted that not only the browser needs to run faster, but it must seem faster to the user. With these improvements, users should be able to notice a difference in speed when loading web pages that contain JavaScript. Google ended by stating that it will continue to make announcements and improvements on the speed of Chrome, as well as all the performance that can better user experience.
