Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product provides client-side aggregation of web content. A client system receives a first and second set of content to be displayed on a web page and an associated style sheet describing a visual layout to be used when displaying the web page. The first and second sets of content are aggregated to create a combined set of content. A fully aggregated web page is created by transforming the combined set of content into a hypertext markup language (HTML) document. A browser on the client system then renders and displays the fully aggregated web page. An activation of an element on the rendered fully aggregated web page is detected, causing a change to the combined set of content. In response to detecting the activation of the element, a full page refresh of the rendered fully aggregated web page is executed.
