Patent attributes
A method and an apparatus for downloading an installation-free application are provided. In the method, after receiving a request sent by a terminal for downloading the installation-free application, a server sends, to the terminal, information necessary for running the application, information of a home page of the application, and information about a subpage that has a highest association degree with the home page among subpages provided by the application. The server determines the foregoing association degree based on an obtained sequence of access to pages included in the application by multiple terminals. According to the method, the server does not need to send all contents of the application to the terminal at one time, to shorten an initial download time while ensuring that the terminal can normally run the application.
