Abstract

A client side system reduces overloading of web servers that experience excessive loads in response to widely distributed information about services or products available through the web server. The client side system may delay the accessing of the web server. For example, instructions may be added to the uniform resource locator distributed for the server over a television broadcast. These instructions may be utilized by software resident on the client side system to delay the accessing of the server to reduce server overloading.
