title: What does "block all network load requests" mean?
body: <p>I am looking for ways to speed up WebView loading and I came across <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html#setBlockNetworkLoads%28boolean%29" rel="nofollow">WebSettings.setBlockNetworkLoads()</a> which is described very briefly in the documentation:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Tell the WebView to block all network load requests.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But it's unclear to me what "<em>all network load requests</em>" mean.</p>
  
  <p>Does it block loading images, like <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html#setBlockNetworkImage%28boolean%29" rel="nofollow">setBlockNetworkImage()</a> does?</p>
  
  <p>Does it block other things? (if so, what does it block?)</p>
