Google made Gmail load faster

We all want Gmail to be really fast,So the Google Team is really putting their efforts to make gmail work real faster then ever.There are so many areas which we do not notice whats cooking in the background while accessing gmail account,we can simply say that it takes long time to reach gmail account,ie the time we click on sign in button to the time landing into our inbox.Now you can notice that load time has decreased upto 20%.


Google had to use lot many different web development tools like Httpwatch, WireShark, and Fiddler plus google's own performance measuring systems, although some tools are limited to working only with certain browsers. The Httpwatch plug-in for Internet Explorer was one that proved easy to use.It also helps in capturing and saving browser traces.

Google found that there were between fourteen and twenty-four HTTP requests required to load an inbox and display it.To put these numbers in perspective,a popular network news site's home page required about a 180 requests to fully load,Google had reduced the number of overall requests,by eliminating or narrowing the scope of some of gmail cookies.Google used spritting technique by which it consolidates small icon images into single meta-images.

So the next you login to your Gmail's account,you'll realize that Gmail is loading real faster.

Find your e-mail with Gmail search

Sometimes you want the specific email and you start ending up by scrolling through all the emails in your inbox.Now with few tips and tricks you can easily locate any particular email with Gmail search.
You see the image above,youll get similar one in your gmail too,now suppose you want to see all the mails send to you by your friend Monica or you might want to see the statement bills in your mail,just type in the keywords like Monica or statement bills,then you will get all the mails from monica or the mail related to your statement bills.

But the real power of Gmail search lies in search operators -- words that help modify your queries. Search operators work pretty much the same way within Gmail as they do for Google. So, if I want the email Monica sent me with her flight information so I know when to pick her up at the airport, I type from:Monica SFO. Likewise:

- A link from my co-worker Sam: from:Sam http
- A photo from my dad: from:dad has:attachment
- That last chat I had with one of my best friend Bill: Bill is:chat
- All messages from ebay that aren't outbid notices: ebay -outbid (the hyphen tells -- Gmail to return all of the messages that don't contain the word that follows it)
- The messages in my inbox sent directly to me that I haven't read yet: to:me is:unread in:inbox
If remembering operators isn't really your thing, that's ok. There's a "Show search options" link to the right of the search bar at the top of your inbox.Clicking that provides you with text fields you can fill in to get the precision of advanced search. Start there, but after a while you'll probably find that using operators is a lot faster.
