Preload webpages

Chrome helps you open webpages faster by predicting where you might go next on the page. The browser preloads the page’s data in the background, so the page can open immediately if you tap its link. Keep in mind this feature may use a large amount of data on your mobile device. But you can always control when Chrome uses this feature:

  1. From the Chrome application, tap the Menu Key > Settings > Bandwidth management.

  2. Tap Preload webpages.

  3. Select an option:

    • Always: Chrome can preload webpages even when you’re using mobile data.

    • Only on Wi-Fi: Chrome can preload webpages only if you’re not using mobile data.

    • Never: Chrome won’t preload webpages.
