Framework to Improve the Web Application Launch Time

Having too many applications running simultaneously on a smartphone consumes memory and slows down the performance of the device. Hence we need web applications which are lightweight and consume less memory. Web Applications use the browser engine and take a lot of time to launch compared to a native application, especially upon device boot up or if the browser is not already running in the background. In this paper, we propose an intelligent framework to launch web applications as fast as native applications. The framework considers the user's usage of web applications and pre-launches the preferred web applications, thus enhancing the launch time performance. We provide the architecture and implementation details of the framework. We then perform experiments on various web applications to measure the effectiveness of the framework for fast launch of the applications after the device boots.
