Abstract

Systems and methods can optimize or attempt to optimize portions of scripts that might be overlooked by traditional compilers. These systems and methods can include a code analysis module that develops an aggregate execution profile for a script by aggregating individual execution profiles of a plurality of users. These systems and methods can use the aggregate execution profile to emphasize aspects of the script that can be optimized for a plurality of users, enabling improved script performance for users.

Claims

1. A system for pre-rendering a content page, the system comprising:

a code analysis module comprising computer hardware, the code analysis module configured to;

collect page browsing information related to browsing interactions taken with respect to a content page causing a change to a visual state of the content page; and

identify, from the page browsing information, a common browsing interaction taken with respect to the content page by a plurality of client devices, wherein the common browsing interaction comprises selection of a link to a second content page; and

a content rendering engine configured to execute on a server computing system and further configured to;

receive a request from a first client device to access the content page; and

in response to the request;

modify at least a portion of the content page based on the common browsing interaction by pre-selecting the link to fetch the second content page; and

provide the second content page to the first client device in place of the content page.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the code analysis module is further configured to identify the common browsing interaction by identifying a common browsing interaction having a threshold frequency of occurrence among the plurality of client devices.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the code analysis module is further configured to collect the page browsing information by collecting information about click paths taken by the plurality of client devices with respect to the content page.

4. The system of claim 1,

wherein the code analysis module is further configured to identify a second common browsing interaction comprises comprising one or more of the following:

expansion of a menu, scrolling of the content page, playing a video, filling at least a portion of a form, or expanding a select box, and

wherein the content rendering engine is further configured to modify, in response to a second request for the content page, at least a portion of the content page to reflect the second common browsing interaction.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the content rendering engine is further configured to modify at least a portion of the content page by modifying code of the content page to reflect the second browsing interaction.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the content rendering engine is further configured to modify at least a portion of the content page by causing the modified content page to expand the menu.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein the content rendering engine is further configured to modify at least a portion of the content page by scrolling the content page to a common scroll point.

8. The system of claim 4, wherein the content rendering engine is further configured to modify at least a portion of the content page by causing the modified content page to graphically emphasize the link.

9. Non-transitory physical computer storage comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed in one or more processors of a server computing device, are configured to implement pre-rendering of a content page, the instructions comprising:

a code analysis module configured to;

collect page browsing information related to user interactions taken with respect to a content page causing a change to a visual state of the content page; and

identify, from the page browsing information, a common user action taken with respect to the content page by a plurality of client devices, wherein the common user action comprises selection of a link to a second content page; and

a content rendering engine configured to;

receive a request from a first client device for the content page; and

in response to the request;

modify at least a portion of the content page based on the common user action by pre-selecting the link to retrieve the second content page; and

provide the second content page to the first client device in place of the content page.

10. The non-transitory physical computer storage of claim 9, wherein the code analysis module is further configured to identify the common user action by identifying a common browsing interaction having a threshold frequency of occurrence among the plurality of client devices.

11. The non-transitory physical computer storage of claim 9, wherein the code analysis module is further configured to collect the page browsing information by collecting information about click paths taken by the plurality of client devices with respect to the content page.

12. The non-transitory physical computer storage of claim 9,

wherein the code analysis module is further configured to identify a second common user action comprising one or more of the following:

expansion of a menu, scrolling of the content page, playing a video, filling at least a portion of a form, or expanding a select box, and

wherein the content rendering engine is further configured to modify, in response to a second request for the content page, at least a portion of the content page to reflect the second common user action.

13. The non-transitory physical computer storage of claim 12, wherein the content rendering engine is further configured to modify at least a portion of the content page by modifying code of the content page to reflect the second common user action.

14. A computer-implemented method comprising:

as implemented by a server computing system comprising one or more computing devices configured to execute specific instructions,

collecting page browsing information related to user interactions taken with respect to a content page causing a change to a visual state of the content page;

identifying, from the page browsing information, a common user action taken with respect to the content page by a plurality of client devices, wherein the common user action comprises selection of a link to a second content page; and

in response to receiving a request for the content page from a first client device;

modifying at least a portion of the content page based on the common user action by pre-selecting the link to retrieve the second content page; and

sending the second content page to the first client device in place of the content page.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14, wherein identifying the common user action comprising identifying a common user action having a threshold frequency of occurrence among the plurality of client devices.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 14, wherein collecting the page browsing information comprises collecting information about click paths taken by the plurality of client devices with respect to the content page.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 14, further comprising:

identifying a second common user action comprising one or more of the following;

selection of a link, expansion of a menu, scrolling of the content page, playing a video, filling at least a portion of a form, or expanding a select box; and

modifying, in response to a second request for the content page, at least a portion of the content page to reflect the second common user action.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 14, wherein modifying at least a portion of the content page comprises modifying code of the content page to reflect the second common user action.
