This page is under heavy construction.

BBench is a web-page rendering benchmark comprising 11 of the most popular sites on the internet today [Google]: Amazon, BBC, CNN, Craigslist, eBay, ESPN, Google, MSN, Slashdot, Twitter, and YouTube. The content for these sites was gathered using a tool called HTTrack.

Running BBench

Since BBench is a collection of web-pages it consists of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images etc. None of this code is compiled, instead it is interpreted by the browser as it renders the page. To run BBench download and untar the source, then, simply navigate to the BBench homepage in your browser. This is the index.html file in the top level directory of the BBench source. Opening the BBench homepage can usually be done by double clicking on the index.html file, or you can point your browser to this file manually by inserting the url into your browser, e.g., file:///path_to_bbench/index.html.
