Webpage rendering using a remotely generated layout node tree. In one embodiment, a method may include generating, at a remote network device, a layout tree based on webpage data received from a webserver, translating, at the remote network device, the layout tree into a layout node tree, serializing, at the remote network device, the layout node tree, sending, from the remote network device, the serialized layout node tree to a local network device, receiving, at the local network device, the serialized layout node tree, deserializing, at the local network device, the serialized layout node tree to obtain the layout node tree, constructing, at the local network device, a webpage using the layout node tree, and rendering, at the local network device, the webpage in a browser, the webpage being rendered to appear substantially the same as if the webpage were rendered on the remote network device using the layout tree.
