Abstract

The various aspects provide methods, servers, and systems for identifying independent portions of an HTML document so that the identified portions may be processed in parallel. The independent portions may be associated with an iframe tag having both the seamless and sandbox attributes. At runtime, a browser may detect the presence of both attributes, and process the contents of the iframe in parallel.
