Retrieving remote pages and parsing html

This is my code:

    <?php
$begin = microtime(TRUE);
$result = get_web_page('WEB_PAGE');

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($result['content']);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

// Get the links
$matches = $xpath->evaluate('//li[@class = "lasts"]/a[@class = "lnk"]/@href | //li[@class=""]/a[ @class = "lnk"]/@href');
if ($matches === FALSE) {
    echo 'error';
    exit();
}
foreach ($matches as $match) {
    $links[] = 'WEB_PAGE'.$match->value;
}

$index = 0;

// For each link
foreach ($links as $link) {
    echo (string)($index).' loop '.(string)(microtime(TRUE)-$begin).'<br>';
    $result = get_web_page($link);

    $dom = new DOMDocument();
    $dom->loadHTML($result['content']);
    $xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

    $match = $xpath->evaluate('concat(//span[@id = "header"]/span[@id = "sub_header"]/text(), //span[@id = "header"]/span[@id = "sub_header"]/following-sibling::text()[1])');
    if ($matches === FALSE) {
        exit();
    }
    $data[$index]['name'] = $match;

    $matches = $xpath->evaluate('//li[starts-with(@class, "active")]/a/text()');
    if ($matches === FALSE) {
        exit();
    }
    foreach ($matches as $match) {
        $data[$index]['types'][] = $match->data;
    }

    $matches = $xpath->evaluate('//span[@title = "this is a title" and @class = "info"]/text()');
    if ($matches === FALSE) {
        exit();
    }
    foreach ($matches as $match) {
        $data[$index]['info'][] = $match->data;
    }

    $matches = $xpath->evaluate('//span[@title = "this is another title" and @class = "name"]/text()');
    if ($matches === FALSE) {
        exit();
    }
    foreach ($matches as $match) {
        $data[$index]['names'][] = $match->data;
    }

    ++$index;
}

?>

This is what is being printed:

What it does is basically connects to a remote page, retrieves it and parses links from that page.
Then for each link, it retrieves it and parses it, creates a new data structure and then uses it (the part of using the structure is not included here).
The output that I added is the time that has passed since the beginning of the runtime of the script.
It takes about 30 seconds for this code to run, which is insane.
How can I improve it?
