Abstract
Disclosed is a method having at least one of the steps of: sending requests for data to at least one web site hosted by at least one server; receiving responses corresponding to the requests for data from the at least one web site; compiling, for each of the at least one web site, data location statistics including a set of data locations identified in the responses from the web site; and selecting, for each of the at least one web site, a smaller subset of at least one data location from the identified set of data locations to act as candidate data location(s) for pre-loading data for the network client; and transferring, for each of the at least one web site, the smaller subset of at least one data location acting as candidate data location(s) to a pre-loading unit, for enabling pre-loading of data based on the candidate data location(s).
