Abstract

Methods for altering content on a Web site in accordance with triggering events. Normal and alternate versions of Web site content are created, where the alternate version is a less complex and computationally expense and utilizes a reduced amount of bandwidth to be transmitted to users. When an event occurs, all or portions of the Web site are switched from the normal version to their respective alternate versions to reduce server load and bandwidth requirements so a high number of users can be served the pages. The switch from normal to alternate versions may be for all visitors of selected classes of visitors, such as those from certain geographic regions.
