Implementation of Asynchronous Predictive Fetch to Improve the Performance of Ajax-Enabled Web Applications

An implementation study of Asynchronous Predictive Fetch method to improve the performance of Ajax-enabled Web applications is presented. To evaluate the performance of the approach, two versions of Ajax-enabled Web applications that implemented the same user interface were developed. A number of trials were accomplished to collect performance data on each application when doing the same tasks. We found that the method provided a performance improvement of the average response time of 64.5%. Categories and Subject Descriptor
