Systems and methods for managing loading priority or sequencing of fragments of a web object

Abstract

This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for managing delivery and rendering of an item of web content. An intermediary between a client and a server may intercept a request from the client to the server for an item of web content. The intermediary may split the item of web content into a first fragment and a plurality of fragments. The intermediary may inject, into the first fragment for delivery to the client, executable code and a plurality of unique identifiers corresponding to the plurality of fragments. The intermediary may send the first fragment to the client. The injected executable code may generate a request at the client to the server for a second fragment from the plurality of fragments responsive to detecting an event. The intermediary may intercept the request for the second fragment, and may send the second fragment to the client responsive to the request.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a nonprovisional of, and claims priority to U.S. provisional application 61 / 880,347, filed Sep. 20, 2013, entitled “SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING LOADING PRIORITY OR SEQUENCING OF FRAGMENTS OF A WEB OBJECT”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for web performance optimization and dynamic content delivery. In particular, this disclosure relates to systems and methods for dynamically managing loading priority or sequencing of fragments of a web object.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0003]Content delivery systems are typically used to improve the end-to-end performance of web content delivery between a server and a client. These systems may cache static web pages or other objects, and may serve these cached objects to requesting clients directly, thereby improving performance while reducing load and congestion on a co...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system and method for modifying a requested web page from a server at an intermediary for presentation to a client. The intermediary can receive a client's request for a web page and manage content and resources from the server in real-time. The intermediary can identify and assemble multiple fragments of the web page, prioritizing certain fragments and controlling their loading and integration with the client's browser. Code can be injected into the web page fragments to improve performance and user experience. The intermediary can store the first fragment in a cache and form subsequent fragments based on the server's response to the request. The technical effects of this system include improved user experience, faster loading times, and efficient use of server resources.

Problems solved by technology

Instead of rendering all fragments, only certain fragments are delivered and / or rendered as needed, leading to bandwidth and processing efficiencies.
