Project Overview

The project titled as "Optimizing the Performance of Web Browsers through Web Compression", which highly focuses on web performance. The web performance can be enhanced through data compression and HTTP header compression. The study was done on comparing various existing works and finding out the flaws as well as the missing ingredients. Also, the project work undergone a strong intense study on web browsers products such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari. The related detailed explanation will be given in the system analysis under problem statement, which outlines the general issues faced by the web browsers.

Also, various algorithms has been studied relating to the web browser performance. On finding flaws in the existing algorithm, a proposed algorithms extending it in adding some more additional features. With the help of the proposed algorithm, a proposed architecture is built. The proposed architecture consists of modules that will be used in the implementation process. The analysis of the websites that runs in the web browsers are experimented by means of Google BigQuery and other tools, where the overall performance will be shown fetching it's performance timings data along with drawbacks that requires to reduce the performance timings. Finally, the project phase 1 documentation concludes discussing about the further enhancement regarding the proposed system implementation for the next phase.
