Publish/subscribe (user to data)
Sample publish/subscribe sites include search engines, media sites such as weather.com, and numerous newspapers and magazines, as well as event sites such as those for the Olympics and the Wimbledon championships.
Site content changes frequently, driving changes to page layouts. While search traffic is low in volume, the number of unique items sought is high, resulting in the largest number of page views of all site types. Security considerations are minor compared to other site types. Data volatility is low. This site type processes the fewest transactions and has little or no connection to legacy systems. See Table 2-1.
