Abstract
Client-side performance is optimized through server-side pushing of content. Portions of content are requested and retrieved as required by a client-side application. Moreover, content likely to be needed in the near future is pre-fetched and pushed to the client. This is beneficial from an overhead standpoint since all content need not be provided to the client at once. Rather, content provisioning is throttled based on need, and wait time is mitigated by pre-fetching.
