- 1Client side processing
- 2Server side processing
- 3Client side processing advantages- Speed -
Processing is faster on the client because data does not have to travel back to the server across the internet
- Security -
Data can not be intercepted on the client in the same way it can be when data is transmitted back to the server across the internet - 4Server side processing advantages- Servers are powerful computers -
A web server is likely to be way more powerful than a clients computer, so it can process data faster
- No browser involved -
Servers don't use browsers so there are none of the difficulties you get on the client with different brands
- Efficient -
Everything is done on the server so no need to wait for downloads etc - 5Client side processing disadvantages- Browser specific -
Different browsers process client scripts in different ways, therefore a web developer cannot be sure how their website will appear on a screen on the client side
- Computer speed -
The web developer is relying on the speed of the client computer to deliver the interactive features, so if that is slow then the processing will be slow - 6Server side processing disadvantages- Security -
When data is sent back from the client, it has to travel across the internet where there is more risk of security threats
- Overloading -
If a lot of users are asking the webserver to process data, it could over load the server and cause it to crash (eg when thousands of people book tickets for a gig)
