This paper discusses techniques for improving Web performance and how they are affected by security. While security is an essential component for many Web applications, it can negatively affect performance. Encryption results in significant overhead. A scalable Web site deploying SSL has special load balancing requirements in order to allow efficient use of the protocol. The paper discusses how fragment-based creation of Web content can allow partial caching of pages containing encrypted content. The paper also discusses performance issues related to security checks on mobile code.
