Abstract

In recent years World Wide Web traffic has shown phenomenal growth. The main causes are the continuing increase in the number of people navigating the Internet and the creation of millions of new Web sites. In addition, the structure of Web pages has become more complex, including not only HTML files but also other components. This has affected both the download times of Web pages and the network bandwidth required. The goal of our research is to monitor the download times of Web pages from different Web sites, and to find out to what extent the images contained in these Web pages influence these times. We also suggest some possible ways of decreasing the bandwidth requirements and download times of complex Web pages.
