NEW MIT-DEVELOPED SYSTEM CAN MAKE WEBPAGES LOAD 34 PER CENT FASTER IN ANY BROWSER
Computer scientists at the world-famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a system that can reliably make websites load 34 per cent faster. As internet speeds have increased, websites have got more complex, leaving some pages sluggish and unresponsive. This is a problem for companies like Amazon, who say that for every one-second delay in loading time, their profits are cut by one per cent.
But a team of researchers, working at the university's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, may have found the solution. When you visit a new page, your browser reaches across the internet to fetch 'objects' like pictures, videos, and HTML files. The browser then evaluates the objects and puts them on the page. However, some objects are dependent on others, and browsers can't see all of these dependencies until they come across them.
My opinion on this is that I believe this is a great idea since I can relate to slow loading websites. Usually people who own a computer or an internet accessing device, many will get frustrated due to slowness of the internet and terrible browser loading time. As technology advancing this is a big change in the way we see browsers and even if it's only 34% thats still a-lot compared to the regular time for most browser to load.
