Abstract
The present invention makes it possible to define the page freshness that is required for the page information to be disclosed or auser'"'"'s page information acquisition request. A cache computer and a server computer both consider the required freshness. If the freshness is adequate, a cached static page is returned immediately. If the freshness is not adequate, on the other hand, a dynamic page generation process is performed. Further, the page information in the server computer is updated independently of a user'"'"'s access request.
