MIT Creates Algorithm That Speeds Up Page Load Time By 34% (softpedia.com)

An anonymous reader writes: MIT researchers have created an algorithm that analyzes web pages and creates dependency graphs for all network resources that need to be loaded (CSS, JS, images, etc.). The algorithm, called Polaris, will be presented this week at the USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation conference, and is said to be able to cut down page load times by 34%, on average. The larger and more resources a web page contains, the better the algorithm's efficiency gets -- which should be useful on today's JavaScript-heavy sites.

Now the next step

Now, the next logical step is to have this algorithm analyze the actual scripts and figure out a way to convince the various malwares that they've been loaded satisfactorily even though they haven't. That way you could avoid downloading almost 99% of modern web pages.

I run the NoScript extension, so I already get all of those benefits without any need for fancy page analysis.

Is it called ad block plus?

I have something kinda like that its called No Script.
