Google Search or Google Search began to use a new feature: It's called the Service Worker and caches repeat searches to load the results twice as fast.
The announcement new feature was made this week by Dion Almaer, Google's director of engineering, and Ben Galbraith, Google's senior director of product at Pluralsight Live in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Galbraith and Dion spent most of their allotted time talking about modern web technologies and tools, such as AMP, Service Worker, and WebAssembly. Some of these we already know, but the Google Search Service Worker, an API for running scripts in the background of theletterof browsing, it was new.
"THE Mission of Google Search is to give you relevant results as quickly as possible," Almaer said on stage. "So we invested in the development of Service Worker which will give you results twice as fast."
Initially Service Worker is only used in Chrome for Android, especially from version 62 and up (we're already on Chrome version 68). So only Chrome for Android users can see a difference in performance.
While other browsers add the required features, the Google Search team will extend the use of the Service Worker.
