kaini Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 slashdot: Quote Popular websites, such as Facebook, are wasting as much as 75MBit/sec of bandwidth due to excessively long URLs. According to a recent article over at O3 Magazine, they took a typical Facebook home page, looked at the traffic statistics from compete.com, and figured out the bandwidth savings if Facebook switched from using URL paths which, in some cases, run over 150 characters in length, to shorter ones. It looks at the impact on service providers, with the wasted bandwidth used by the subsequent GET requests for these excessively long URLs. Facebook is just one example; many other sites have similar problems, as well as CMS products such as Word Press. It's an interesting approach to web optimization for high traffic sites linkage: http://www.o3magazine.com/4/a/0/1.html this is actually something i never considered before. amazon and the like are just as bad.

kaini Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) joyrex, think of the bandwidth you'd save if you turned everything into a tinyurl before the GET, lol :teeth: alternatively, you could just ban another few people Edited March 27, 2009 by kaini Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide kaini's signature Hide all signatures On 5/7/2013 at 11:06 PM, ambermonk said: I know IDM can be extreme On 6/3/2017 at 11:50 PM, ladalaika said: this sounds like an airplane landing on a minefield Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44075-facebook-et-al-wasting-75mbitsec/#findComment-993930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
