This document provides an overview of Google's effort to make the web faster.
What would be possible if browsing the web was as fast as turning the pages
of a magazine? We invite you to join us in exploring and innovating across the
entire spectrum of performance — from Internet protocols to the browser to
website development. Together, let's make the web faster!
PageSpeed
PageSpeed is an open-source project started at Google to help
developers optimize their web pages by applying web performance
best practices. PageSpeed started as an open-source browser
extension, and is now deployed in third-party products such as
Webpagetest.org,
Show Slow and Google

Tools
Instant Pages
Prerendering is an experimental feature in Chrome (versions 13 and up) that
can take hints from a site’s author to speed up the browsing experience of
users. A site author includes an element in HTML that instructs Chrome to fetch
and render an additional page in advance of the user actually clicking on it.
As a web developer, you may be interested in triggering prerendering or, much
more likely, in detecting when your site is being prerendered.
Public DNS
Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution
service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.
