A method for presenting content from the page in a distributed database. In a preferred embodiment, a server receives a request from a client for a page from the database wherein the page has a plurality of links to linked pages in the database. The server retrieves the page and generates a set of thumbnails of the linked pages in the database. The server then sends the page and the set of thumbnails to the client. In a system for processing requests for pages on the Internet, a server receives 710, from a user, a request for web content. The server determines 715 from the request whether the user has selected the thumbnail option, and if not, sends the web page without thumbnails. If so the server parses the web page for links to other pages, checks the cache for linked pages and prefetches 730 the linked pages which are not in cache. Then it generates thumbnails of uncached pages 735 and stores them in cache. The web page may then be regenerated with thumbnails included and the modified web page is sent 750 to the user.
