For example, a user is presented with a content item, such as an image, an advertisement, etc., on a display of a user device. The content item, when interacted with by the user, results in a request for additional content, such as a web page, being sent to a remote computing resource, the additional content item being received by the user device from the remote computing resource, loaded by the user device, and presented to the user on the display of the user device. Rather than presenting the user with a blank screen, an empty window, a “loading” notification (e.g., spinning icon), etc.
