Abstract

As data transmission speeds over the Internet continue to increase, it is necessary to research and identify technologies that can take advantage of the increased speeds by enhancing the loading speed of web pages.  One area of consideration is found in the type of framework that is utilized for a website.  There are numerous frameworks that can be chosen from to be used to support a website, each with their distinctive advantages.  There are many differing opinions that have been proffered on which framework should be used to fully realize the optimization of page load speed.  This manuscript examines and implements testing methods for two popular frameworks, ASP.net and PHP, to make a final determination of which framework is most beneficial for webpage load speeds.
