streamingWhile Google Chrome isn’t the world’s fastest browser, it is still pretty fast compared to some of its competitors out there. However Google thinks that Chrome could still be faster as they have recently announced an update to Chrome in which it will see a change in how the browser handles JavaScript loading times.

As you can see in the image above, Google shared how it used to handle JavaScripts. The former method is rather linear and follows a progression in which one step has to be taken and completed before the next can begin. Like we said Chrome isn’t exactly sluggish but admittedly that method does show that there are more steps involved.

However with the newer method, Chrome will now parse async and deferred scripts on a separate thread as soon as the download has begun. This basically means that the entire script does not have to be downloaded before Chrome can begin to parse this, thus taking advantage of the computer’s CPU and ultimately saving some time in the progress.

According to Google, this helps to shave 40% of compilation time which not only makes page loading time faster, but on mobile devices it can also help to cut down on battery usage. This feature can be found in the latest build which is Chrome 41.
