Abstract
Application code for deployment to a client over a data link is optimized to minimize download time by supplying only the application code with a particular object that is required by the object. In a web application that includes multiple pages, the HTML and JAVASCRIPT are scanned to identify code resources called by a particular web page. When all called resources are identified, they are extracted and concatenated into a single resource file. When the page is downloaded to the client, the import file is included with the page. The import file may be cached so that it need only be downloaded once, rather than being downloaded every time the page is requested. The invention is suitable for use with other interpreted scripting languages.

2. A computer-implemented method for preparing external code referenced by a web page for deployment to a client over a data link, the method comprising:
-
identifying external code referenced by the web page; extracting, with at least one processor, the identified external code referenced by the web page from at least one import file associated with the web page; concatenating, using at least one computer processor, the extracted external code into a new import file; and transmitting the new import file and the web page to the client in response to a request from the client to access the web page. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program product that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform a method for preparing external code referenced by a web page for deployment to a client over a data link, the method comprising:
-
identifying external code referenced by the web page; extracting the identified external code referenced by the web page from at least one import file associated with the web page; concatenating the extracted external code into a new import file; and transmitting the new import file and the web page to the client in response to a request from the client to access the web page. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for preparing external application code of a web page for deployment to a client over a network, the system comprising:
-
a communication device for communicating with the client over the network; a server system comprising a memory and at least one processor; and a program system stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the at least one processor to; identify external application code referenced by the web page; extract the identified external application code referenced by the web page from at least one import file associated with the web page; concatenate the extracted external application code into a new import file; and send, via the communication device, the new import file and the web page to the client in response to a request from the client to access the web page. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
