A method and a system for speeding up and reducing the latency in
retrieving data of a data network (1). The network (1) being of the type
from which data can be retrieved as data pages, among others, multi-level
data pages from a plurality of data servers (2) and by a plurality of
users (6; 16). Users are provided with an editable navigation tool (19)
for retrieving data pages from the network (1). Data pages and data page
levels retrieved by a user (6; 16) with the aid of the navigation tool
(19) are analyzed and stored in a personal proxy (9; 11) associated with
the user (6; 16) and featured by a cache memory (10; 12). The cache
memory (10; 12) is refreshed by retrieving relevant data pages and data
page levels from the data network (1). Data pages and data page levels
requested with the aid of the navigation tool (19) are at first instance
retrieved from the personal proxy (9, 11) and, if not available, from the
data network (1).
