Preloading another webpage from the current webpage

Question

I have been looking for this for a while, and I only find articles and threads about loading webpages using an overlay or a loading bar. Currently I am using the queryloader2 to load my webpage (which uses a loading bar):

http://www.gayadesign.com/diy/queryloader2-preload-your-images-with-ease/

However, I would like the loading of this webpage to occur in the background. Here is what I imagine:

Someone comes to my website (and lands at 'page 1'), and they're having a look around, and then click a link (to 'page 2'). I would like the user to be redirected instantly to 'page 2' without the need to stare at a loading bar. For this to occur I would therefore like the page to load in the background while they browse 'page 1'.

The closest match I have found is this (however I can't get it to work and don't have enough reputation to comment) Preload image in index.html to use on another page

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I knew it'd be simple, just didn't really know what I was looking for! — Paul Wright, Oct 29 '14 at 15:53
