About the “Turbo page” technology
With the Turbo page technology, you can create light versions of pages that open fast even when the user's internet connection is slow. Turbo pages load about 15 times faster than regular pages.
This speed is achieved by optimizing layout, storing page content on Yandex servers, and using our own content delivery network.
