This may sounds stupid. But is there possibility that we just request the <HEAD> part of a html page from a server? Sometimes, this is good when we only need meta information of a html page. So, instead of downloading the whole page, we just ask for a small number of text.

you might be able to use a web language to read just the head, but you couldn't do it with CSS & HTML, you'd need PERL, PHP, ASP etc...
