Google Chrome in its latest version 56 now reloads faster by 28 percent primarily because the browser only validates main resource and not stale content. Moreover, Google's own root-certificate authority now warns with "not secure" in HTTP payments and login pages to protect users from unsecured sites.

Google has been hard pressed to improve its engine in terms of refresh speed and security. Now Google Chrome 56 is able to refresh faster than its earlier version by as much as 28 percent. This is achieved by altering the way the browser handles "validation."

The new Version of Chrome only validates the main resource or those that the browser perceives as content that has changed or needs validation. Previously, when a user visits or revisits a page, Google Chrome still requests hundreds of networks even those that are already stale content.

Google Takashi Toyoshima in a blog post revealed Google Chrome's early design. Toyoshima said that the previous reload behavior of the browser still solves broken pages, which were common in the past. Moreover, stale content is inefficiently handled by the usual reload particularly experienced in mobile.

Now with broken pages no longer common, there is no need for the browser to validate each and every piece of content. In so doing, Google Chrome is able to speed up its reload and refresh, Mashable has learned.

Aside from the speedy reload, users may also benefit from the lower data consumption and energy used by Google Chrome. Earlier this week, Google Chrome 56 has begun flagging HTTP pages that gather sensitive information like bank accounts.

Chrome now adds "not secure" in HTTP payment and login pages. However, Google admits that the neutral gray indicator on an HTTP page is not accurately suggestive of a totally unsecured site.

Google's warning is to encourage site operators to move to HTTPS to allow apps access to valuable hardware features. The microphone and camera can be easily used to capture sensitive information and needs to be encrypted and secure.

Google has long been exerting pressure to developers and site operators to prioritize security of their users starting in September by disclosing the coming changes to Google Chrome. In December, Google even issued alerts to site operators.

Google is committed to ensuring security even paying $53,837 to security researchers to look for bugs. To date, Google has fixed 51 security bugs in the earlier version of Google Chrome, ZDNet reported.
