Abstract

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for accessing a website. A method may comprise: acquiring a web address that meets a preset condition; determining a server corresponding to the web address and establishing a transport layer connection therewith; upon receiving an instruction for accessing a website corresponding to the web address, using the transport layer connection to send a network request to the server for acquiring the webpage content of the website. Such method can save time for establishing a transport layer connection, thereby improving the efficiency of accessing a website. When a transport layer connection is established with a server in advance, moreover, there are a very small number of data packets generated with the server, which greatly reduces the network data. Prior to receiving an instruction for accessing a website corresponding to the web address, moreover, only a transport layer connection is established with the server without requesting more data from the server, leading to a very low occupation of system resources such as memory and processor.
