A monitor analyzes and generates a profile of an Internet website data
transmission. The profile indicates the relative load and/or execution
times of different components of the data, including text, images, and
Java code. The profile is displayed and an end-user deselects one or more
of the data components which are of marginal interest but contributing to
the webpage load or execution times, whereupon the altered profile is
stored. During a next access of the website, the altered profile is
retrieved and utilized to selectively control a more limited load and/or
execution of subsequently transmitted website data by eliminating the
previously de-selected data types. The load or execution times associated
with pages of the website are thereby reduced. In one embodiment, the
profile is pre-generated and stored with the website data and transmitted
in the website data transmission for display and alteration.
