			At <a href="https://www.bitovi.com/">Bitovi</a>, we’ve been working on utilizing HTTP streaming to speed up single-page application (SPA) load times for the last couple of years. We've developed a technique that accelerates page load times that we call <strong>incremental rendering</strong>, which went into DoneJS 3. Today we're happy to announce another project, Velocirender, which brings incremental rendering to any framework.
          </p>

          <p>
			This article will:
			<ul>
				<li>Explain what incremental rendering is and how it improves page load times.</li>
				<li>Explain how Velocirender makes it easy to get the benefits of incremental rendering with any framework.</li>
