Abstract

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for returning website content after being requested by a client. A dynamic component and a rewritten URL may be requested and a static component may be requested, which may be updated. The combination of static and dynamic website content may be returned to the client.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein said accessing step b) comprises accessing said static component stored in said cache server.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein said accessing step b) further comprises determining whether a first static component stored in said cache server is current and, responsive to a determination that said first static component is current, determining that said static component consists of said first static component.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein said accessing step b) further comprises, determining whether a first static component stored in said cache server is current and, responsive to a determination that said first static component is not current:

i) requesting and receiving an updated static component from said origin server; and

ii) defining said static component as said updated static component.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said generating step e) comprises determining which of said personalized information to include in said dynamic content by using a scripting language running processes and calculations on said personalized information.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said personalized information is determined from a login or behavior patterns, stored in said database, for said user.

8. A system, comprising:

a) a first server computer communicatively coupled to a network and configured to;

i) receive a request for a website content from a user via a client computer communicatively coupled to said network;

ii) access a static component of said website content;

iii) request a dynamic component of said website content from a second server computer communicatively coupled to said network; and

iv) transmit said website content to said client computer, said website content comprising said static component and said dynamic component; and

b) said second server computer comprising a database storing a personalized information for a user, said second server computer and said database being communicatively coupled to a network and said second server computer being configured to;

i) request said personalized information for said user from said database;

ii) generate said dynamic component, wherein said dynamic component comprises one or more of said personalized information; and

iii) transmit said dynamic component to said first server computer.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein said first server computer comprises a cache server and said second server computer comprises an origin server.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein said first server computer is further configured to access said static component stored in said cache server.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein said first server computer is further configured to determine whether a first static component stored in said cache server is current and, responsive to a determination that said first static component is current, determine that said static component consists of said first static component.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein said first server computer is further configured to determine whether a first static component stored in said cache server is current and, responsive to a determination that said first static component is not current:

i) request and receive an updated static component from said origin server; and

ii) define said static component as said updated static component.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein said second server computer is further configured to determine which of said personalized information to include in said dynamic content by using a scripting language running processes and calculations on said personalized information.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein said personalized information is determined from a login or behavior patterns, stored in said database, for said user.

15. A method, comprising the steps of:

a) receiving, by a second server computer communicatively coupled to a network, a request for a website content, said request being received from a user via a client computer;

b) requesting, by said second server computer, at least one personalized information for said user from a database communicatively coupled to said network;

c) generating, by said second server computer, a dynamic component of said website content, said dynamic component comprising one or more of said at least one personalized information;

d) identifying, by said second server computer responsive to receiving said request for said website content, a uniform resource locator for a first server computer communicatively coupled to said network and storing a static component of said website content;

e) transmitting, by said second server computer, said dynamic component and said uniform resource locator to said client computer;

f) receiving from said client computer, by said first server computer, a request for said static component, said request for said static component being addressed to said uniform resource locator;

g) accessing, by said first server computer, said static component of said website content; and

h) transmitting, by said first server computer, said static component to said client computer.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein said first server computer comprises a cache server and said second server computer comprises an origin server.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein said accessing step g) comprises accessing said static component stored in said cache server.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein said accessing step g) further comprises determining whether a first static component stored in said cache server is current and, responsive to a determination that said first static component is current, determining that said static component consists of said first static component.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein said accessing step g) further comprises, determining whether a first static component stored in said cache server is current and, responsive to a determination that said first static component is not current:

i) requesting and receiving an updated static component from said origin server; and

ii) defining said static component as said updated static component.

20. The method of claim 15, wherein said generating step c) comprises determining which of said personalized information to include in said dynamic content by using a scripting language running processes and calculations on said personalized information.

21. The method of claim 15, wherein said personalized information is determined from a login or behavior patterns, stored in said database, for said user.

22. A system, comprising:

b) said first server computer configured to;

i) receive a request for said static component from said client computer, said request being addressed to said uniform resource locator;

ii) access said static component; and

iii) transmit said static component to said client computer.

23. The system of claim 22, wherein said first server computer comprises a cache server and said second server computer comprises an origin server.
