Abstract: This paper provides an overview of techniques for improving Web performance.
For improving server performance, multiple Web servers can be used in
combination with efficient load balancing techniques. We also discuss how the
choice of server architecture affects performance. We examine content distribution
networks (CDN's) and the routing techniques that they use. While Web
performance can be improved using caching, a key problem with caching is consistency.
We present different techniques for... (Update)
