Abstract

Eight different governmental universities in Jordan were tested for their homepage performances. The factors that were tested are HTML size, download time, number of images, image size, connection establishment time, DNS, first byte, end of packet and homepage size. The result showed that Mutah university has the highest number of objects and the download time among the other universities with a values of 9 and 7.92 sec, respectively, while Jordan university has the highest object size with down load time of 0.62 sec. These results were affected by the location of each university from the National Information Center (as Central hub for governmental sector), as well as, the managed build up pages.
