To date there have been a number of efforts that attempt to characterize various aspects of the World Wide Web. This paper presents a summary of these efforts, highlighting regularities and insights that have been discovered across the variety of access points available for instrumentation. Characterizations that are derived from client, proxy, and server instrumentation are reviewed as well as efforts to characterize the entire structure of the WWW. Given the dynamic nature of the Web, it may be surprising for some readers to find that many properties of the Web follow regular and predictable patterns that have not changed in form over the Web’s lifetime. Understanding these aspects as well as those that vary is critical to designing a better Web, and as a direct consequence, creating a more enjoyable user experience.
