A method, system and computer program product for dynamically adjusting a timeout parameter associated with a connection between a client device and a server. Information is associated with at least one of a characteristic of a content to be rendered by a server, a characteristic of traffic of a connection to the server, and a characteristic of a user of the server is received from the client device and transmitted to the server. Based on the transmitted information, an amount of time in a previously stored timeout parameter associated with a client device is adjusted automatically with a new timeout parameter to enable communication between the client device and the server. The new timeout parameter is stored in place of the previously stored timeout parameter. Responsive to the amount of time to wait for a response from the client device satisfying the new timeout parameter, the communication between the client device and the server is terminated.
