Instant browsing for static sites with Algolia

The "R" in Google's RAIL web performance model is "Response". A response to a user's action must take place in less than 100ms for the experience to feel immediate and natural. When content must be fetched from a traditional backend or API in response to a user's interaction, it can be very difficult to meet that requirement. Algolia can help. Designed to power low-latency search-as-you-type experiences, Algolia responds to content fetching requests as "fast as ping". Learn how Algolia works and see how you can speed up your static sites. Demo included.
