Abstract

Systems and methods for monitoring the performance associated with fulfilling resource requests and determining optimizations for improving such performance are provided. A processing device obtains and processes performance information associated with processing a request corresponding to two or more embedded resources. The processing device uses the processed performance information to determine a consolidation configuration to be associated with a subsequent request for the content associated with the two or more embedded resources. In some embodiments, in making such a determination, the processing device assesses performance information collected and associated with subsequent requests corresponding to the content associated with the two or more embedded resources and using each of a variety of alternative consolidation configurations. Aspects of systems and methods for generating recommendations to use a particular consolidation configuration to process a subsequent request corresponding to the content associated with the two or more embedded resources are also provided.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying common embedded resources corresponding to content associated with a first resource request and a second resource request, wherein the first and second resource requests individually correspond to two or more embedded resources, and wherein the first and second resource requests are different; and

dynamically identifying one or more sets of the common embedded resources to be consolidated for use in responding to at least one subsequent request corresponding to the content associated with the first or second resource request.

2. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 further comprising consolidating each of the one or more sets of the common embedded resources.

3. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 further comprising:

dynamically identifying, for the first resource request, a second different grouping of one or more sets of the common embedded resources, each identified set of the second grouping to be consolidated into a single embedded resource for use in responding to at least one further subsequent request corresponding to the content associated with the first or second resource request.

4. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 3 further comprising:

for each grouping of one or more sets of the common embedded resources;

consolidating each of the one or more sets of the common embedded resources to create a consolidated set of embedded resources.

5. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 4, wherein consolidating each of the one or more sets of the common embedded resources comprises generating a CSS sprite file for each of the one or more sets of the common embedded resources.

6. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 4 further comprising:

for each grouping of one or more sets of the common embedded resources;

causing an initiation of at least one subsequent resource request associated with the consolidated set of embedded resources, wherein the at least one subsequent resource request corresponds to the content associated with the first resource request.

7. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 6 further comprising:

for each grouping of one or more sets of the common embedded resources;

obtaining performance data related to processing of the at least one subsequent request associated with the consolidated set of embedded resources corresponding to the grouping.

8. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 7 further comprising dynamically determining a recommended grouping of one or more sets of consolidated embedded resources to be associated with the common embedded resources based on the performance data associated with processing the at least one subsequent resource request using each of the identified groupings.

9. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 8, wherein dynamically determining the recommended grouping is further based on the performance data associated with processing the first and second resource request.

10. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 8, wherein dynamically determining the recommended grouping is further based on performance selection criteria.

11. A system comprising:

at least one computing device having a processor and memory, the at least one computing device operative to;

identify common embedded resources corresponding to content associated with a first resource request and a second resource request, wherein the first and second resource requests individually correspond to two or more embedded resources, and wherein the first and second resource requests are different; and

dynamically identify one or more sets of the common embedded resources to be consolidated for use in responding to at least one subsequent request corresponding to the content associated with the first or second resource request.

12. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the at least one computing device is further operative to consolidate each of the one or more sets of the common embedded resources.

13. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the at least one computing device is further operative to:

dynamically identify, for the first resource request, a second different grouping of one or more sets of the common embedded resources, each identified set of the second grouping to be consolidated into a single embedded resource for use in responding to at least one further subsequent request corresponding to the content associated with the first or second resource request.

14. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the at least one computing device is further operative to:

for each grouping of one or more sets of the common embedded resources;

consolidate each of the one or more sets of the common embedded resources to create a consolidated set of embedded resources.

15. The system as recited in claim 14, wherein consolidating each of the one or more sets of the common embedded resources comprises generating a CSS sprite file for each of the one or more sets of the common embedded resources.

16. The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the at least one computing device is further operative to:

for each grouping of one or more sets of the common embedded resources;

cause an initiation of at least one subsequent resource request associated with the consolidated set of embedded resources, wherein the at least one subsequent resource request corresponds to the content associated with the first resource request.

17. The system as recited in claim 16, wherein the at least one computing device is further operative to:

for each grouping of one or more sets of the common embedded resources;

obtain performance data related to processing of the at least one subsequent request associated with the consolidated set of embedded resources corresponding to the grouping.

18. The system as recited in claim 17, wherein the at least one computing device is further operative to dynamically determine a recommended grouping of one or more sets of consolidated embedded resources to be associated with the common embedded resources based on the performance data associated with processing the at least one subsequent resource request using each of the identified groupings.

19. The system as recited in claim 18, wherein dynamically determining a recommended grouping is further based on the performance data associated with processing the first and second resource request.

20. The system as recited in claim 18, wherein dynamically determining a recommended grouping is further based on performance selection criteria.
