Abstract

A method and a system for rendering a web page free of inappropriate URLs include parsing a web page to identify a plurality of Universal Resource Locators (URLs) within the web page. Further, the method includes preloading the plurality of URLs identified and detecting the URLs having inappropriate content. Furthermore, the method includes rendering a web page free of the inappropriate URLs.

Claims

1. A method for rendering a web page free of inappropriate URLs, the method comprising:

parsing a web page to identify a plurality of Universal Resource Locators (URLs) within the web page;

preloading the plurality of URLs identified;

detecting at least an inappropriate URL having inappropriate content; and

rendering the web page free of the inappropriate URLs.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein rendering a web page free of the inappropriate content comprising:

disabling the URL with inappropriate content in the web page.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein disabling the URL further comprises one of:

replacing an inappropriate URL with a dummy link;

hiding the inappropriate URL with a text message; and

redirecting the inappropriate URL to an appropriate URL.

4. A method for disabling inappropriate Universal Resource Locators (URLs) in a web page, the method comprising:

requesting the web page via a web browser by a user;

parsing the web page to extract a plurality of URLs present in the web page;

preloading the plurality of URLs present in the web page, wherein preloading enables fetching metadata information of the plurality of URLs;

detecting an inappropriate URL based on the metadata information of the plurality of URLs; and

disabling the inappropriate URLs detected in the web page.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein disabling the inappropriate URLs detected in the web page further comprises one of:

replacing the inappropriate URL with a dummy link;

hiding the inappropriate URL with a text message; and

redirecting the inappropriate URL to a valid URL.

6. The method as claimed in claim 4 and further comprising:

rendering a modified web page to the user, wherein the modified web page is created after disabling inappropriate URLs from the web page.

7. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein preloading the plurality of URLs present in the web page comprises one of:

serial processing, wherein serial processing comprises preloading the plurality of URLs successively;

batch processing, wherein batch processing comprises preloading a set of URLs from the plurality of URLs as batches of URLs ; and

parallel processing, wherein parallel processing comprises preloading the plurality of URLs simultaneously.

8. A system for detecting inappropriate URLs in a web page, the system comprising:

a network module to fetch a web page requested by a user, wherein the network module fetches the web page from a web server;

a loader module to load the web page requested by the user;

a tokenizing module to parse the web page, wherein parsing comprises extracting a plurality of URLs present in the web page; and

a content control module to perform;

preloading the plurality of URLs to fetch at least one of metadata information and web page content corresponding to the plurality of URLs; and

detecting at least one of an inappropriate URL based on the metadata information and the web page content of the plurality of URLs.

9. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein disabling the inappropriate URLs detected in the web page further comprises one of:

replacing the inappropriate URL with a dummy link;

hiding the inappropriate URL with a text message; and

redirecting the inappropriate URL to a valid URL.

10. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the network module, the loader module, the tokenizing module, and the content control module are present in a client device.
