Abstract

The paper explores how the structure of Webspace and the reading pattern of the surfer affect Web prefetch. We have conducted a series of experiments based on a new prefetch proxy and studied the prefetch performance on several dominant hyperspace structures including chain, tree, and complete graph sub-structures. The study assesses the system's responsiveness and the excess prefetching for various user interaction duration, surfing and prefetch sequences. The results show that the knowledge about the structure of Webspace can be used for intelligent prefetching. The study also offers some interesting insight for authors on how to design a prefetch friendly collection for increasing site responsiveness.
