Download Speed;
Download speed form the user side is how long it would be for the selected webpage to load, photo to load or things to download once requested. The measurements for the time it would take to load the page and the speed of the page are completely different issues as some webpages have more content than others like pictures and videos and hold more storage space so can download slower. E.g- Having slow internet connection or having a computer that has a lot of information stored on it is it more likely to run slower and could cause the webpage to time out or crash, so it is best to get the best connection possible aand even if it has to cost more to run it because it will make your computer work quicker and you wont have to wait around for ages. If the download speed is running slowly because you have been downloading too much you can make this better by getting a new processor or better connection.


Cache memory;
Cache memory is the short term used for the RAM and CPU access which is easier and quicker than it would be than to use a normal RAM chip. The CPU will use the Cache Memory to store the instructions that will be required to run different applications/programs the user wishes to use. You can find larger caches and that will operate at higher specific speeds, also these are now considered to be the core of the CPU your pc uses. Other caches on the other hand can be simpler and differ, and they will be slower when used. Your computer will start to run more slowly because the cache memory is getting too full like trying to stuff a suitcase, you can improve this by simply gaining a better cache memory bank.



Web server capacity;

- A web server is a program that uses the client internet provider which connects to the World Wide Web Hypertext Transfer Protocol (language) this then serves the files that form Web pages to Web users which contains HTTP clients which forwards their requests. Every computer on the internet that contains a Web site must have a web server program. The leading Web server is Microsoft's internet information server it is the most widely installed and used server. A common way that you could increase the capacity of the web server is to upgrade your server to a better server, this is a common debate with most tech savvy people on which is best as most people hate internet explorer so much switch to servers like Google Chrome, Firefox and Bing.

Processor Speed;
- Processor speed is the speed of which the microprocessor gives out instructions to the rest of the system, the CPU has got a fixed number of ticks (time) in which it has to operate the instructions so the faster the clock the better, this leads as the more instruction it gets and can executed in good time. For example 2 CPU's may have the same clock speed but it may not perform the same as some will run faster than others and some will have faster microprocessor like the differences between computer systems, which means that a single calculation can be performed in just 1 tick.
