Use of SSL Creates Performance Overhead for Browsers| Article ID | : | 150031 | | Last Review | : | February 21, 2007 | | Revision | : | 2.2 |
This article was previously published under Q150031 SUMMARY
The use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will slow performance between
HTTP servers and browsers.
MORE INFORMATION
If two HTTP web servers are developed with identical HTML, and SSL is
applied to only one of the servers, the client browsers will experience a
noticeable performance degradation when you browse the SSL web server.
NOTE: Use encryption sparingly. The use of large bitmaps behind an SSL site
should be used with discretion.
