PJAX

Pjax is a standalone JavaScript module that uses AJAX (XmlHttpRequest) and pushState() to deliver a fast browsing experience.

It allows you to completely transform the user experience of standard websites (server-side generated or static ones) to make users feel like they are browsing an app, especially for those with low bandwidth connections.

Please use the absolute path of the image or Hexo asset_img tag in your posts, otherwise the images may fail to load during Pjax refresh.
