Abstract

A computer loads a web page, the web page including a first file and a second file. The computer then determines a likelihood of change value for the first and second file. The computer then loads one of the first or second file having a higher likelihood of change value and subsequently loads the other of the first or second file having a lower likelihood of change value.

Claims

1. A method for dynamic web page file retrieving, comprising the steps of:

a computer loading a web page, wherein the web page includes a first file and a second file;

the computer determining a likelihood of change value for the first and second file; and

the computer loading one of the first or second file having a higher likelihood of change value and subsequently loading the other of the first or second file having a lower likelihood of change value.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the likelihood of change values of the first and second file are determined based on observations made when the respective first or second file is loaded.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the likelihood of change values of the first and second files are determined by a host of the web page.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the likelihood of change values of the first and second files are determined by an online search engine.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

the computer determining the second file has not been loaded before; and

the computer assigning the second file a maximum likelihood of change value.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of the computer loading a cache version of the web page.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of the computer loading a cache version of the first file.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of the computer loading a cache version of the second file.

9. A computer program product for dynamic web page file retrieving, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage devices, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to load a web page, wherein the web page includes a first file and a second file;

program instructions to determine a likelihood of change value for the first and second file; and

program instructions to load one of the first or second file having a higher likelihood of change value and subsequently load the other of the first or second file having a lower likelihood of change value.

10. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the likelihood of change values of the first and second files are determined based on observations made when the respective first or second file is loaded.

11. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the likelihood of change values of the first and second files are determined by a host of the web page.

12. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the likelihood of change values of the first and second files are determined by an online search engine.

13. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising:

program instructions to determine the second file has not been loaded before; and

program instructions to assign the second file a maximum likelihood of change value.

14. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising program instructions to load a cache version of the web page.

15. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising program instructions to load a cache version of the first file.

16. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising program instructions to load a cache version of the second file.

17. A computer system for dynamic web page file retrieving, the computer system comprising:

one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to load a web page, wherein the web page includes a first file and a second file;

program instructions to determine a likelihood of change value for the first and second file; and

program instructions to load one of the first or second file having a higher likelihood of change value and subsequently load the other of the first or second file having a lower likelihood of change value.

18. The computer system of claim 17, wherein the likelihood of change values of the first and second file are determined based on observations made when the respective first or second file is loaded.

19. The computer system of claim 17, further comprising:

program instructions to determine the second file has not been loaded before; and

program instructions to assign the second file a maximum likelihood of change value.

20. The computer system of claim 17, further comprising program instructions to load a cache version of the web page.
