Patent

CA 2229392

In a server providing access for multiple users to the World Wide Web, selected pages from periodically updated Web sites are precached. Pages linked to the home page for a Web site which are likely to be accessed by a user are retrieved and stored on the server. In response to offline browsing requests by subscribers to the Web site, the pages or portions of pages which are not already present in a subscriber's system are prioritized by likelihood of being accessed utilizing statistical information, link relationships, and/or content. The pages or page portions most likely to be accessed are compressed and transmitted to the subscriber, thus minimizing the connection time required and maximizing the number of subscribers which may be updated.
