Introduction

Being a performance company, we are always interested in the impact of new development techniques on the performance of web applications. We have numerous customers who have performance problems due primarily to the size of their web pages. Put another way - the pages are simply too big to achieve the desired performance goals with the available bandwidth. In some cases, the page consists primarily of content that is common between many pages. For instance, a header, footer and navigation menu that change infrequently, if at all, during the use of the application. This suggested that if the application was only updating the part of the page that needed to change, a considerable amount of bandwidth could be saved.

The Goal

In order to test the theory, we decided to see if we could cut the bandwidth use of an application by at least 50%. We selected a rather simple internal data-analysis application. The application consists of a typical page layout with a central section containing the changing content. The header, footer and navigation menu do not change during the application operation. We modified the application so that it can be accessed in either traditional (refresh) mode or AJAX mode. We then used our measurement tool (Web Performance Analyzer) to record and analyze the bandwidth utilization of each application.

Results

The first result of this effort surprised us a little. With all the talk of AJAX frameworks, we expected to have a difficult time choosing an appropriate AJAX framework to use in our application. After trying a few simple experiments with a few popular frameworks, and learning just enough Javascript to be dangerous, we settled on a simple collection of javascript func
