We propose an architecture for offloading processes in applications to support low-performance devices. Almost all applications based on standardized web technologies are compatible with our architecture. We discuss how interfaces should be used properly to offload processes in JavaScript and argue that an interface for offloading should only be used for defining complex processes. We also propose a method for applying our architecture to web applications that use web workers. Our method automatically offloads some worker processes to the cloud. We also compare the processing times achieved with and without our method. Our architecture exhibits good efficacy with regards to the N-Queen problem, although it is influenced by network latency between a device and the cloud.
