  • Abstract
    URL signature was proposed to be implemented in web crawling, aiming to avoid processing duplicated web pages for further web crawling. In this paper, we present our performance study on an open source web crawler - WebSPHINX, in which we have embedded URL signature. The experimental result indicates that URL signature is able to reduce the processing of duplicated web pages significantly for further web crawling at a negligible cost compared to the one without URL signature.
