We have already discussed the particular way in which jQuery Mobile "follows" links: rather than forcing the browser to open a new page, the framework makes use of AJAX to load the (internal) page into the existing page's DOM.

In this way, the AJAX requests not only makes the user experience smooth but also results in quicker responses to the requests: every time we want to load an internal page (that is, a portion of a page), we use AJAX to asynchronously request that particular piece of information instead of reloading the whole page from the server, thus resulting in a more pleasant user experience.
