For this purpose, was used equipment working in a local network consisting of server, two client computers, switch and self-created research web application. Using a test application was measured time of data transfer between clients and server as well server and clients. The tests included transmission 100-character texts in specified number of copies considering speed of hardware (laptops) and software (web browsers). Additionally, was investigated the impact of overhead and TLS encryption to performance. The obtained results have illustrated in the form of charts, discussed and appropriate conclusions drawn. https://ph.pollub.pl/index.php/jcsi/article/view/2452websocket protocol; http protocol; protocols performance comparison
