How is a Web page rendered?

1. The user enters a URL or clicks on a link in Opera Mini.

2. The client sends a page request to the Opera Mini Server.

3. The Server downloads the complete page with all images from the Internet.

4. The Server renders the page completely, using the Opera 9.5 desktop browser core, adapts the content for the mobile client, and performs compression.

5. The compressed result is returned to the client.

6. The Opera Mini client displays the content incrementally, as it receives it.
