Abstract

Systems and methods for monitoring the performance associated with fulfilling resource requests and determining optimizations for improving such performance are provided. A processing device obtains and processes performance metric information associated with processing a request corresponding to two or more embedded resources. The processing device uses the processed performance metric information to determine an allocation of one or more domains to be associated with the two or more embedded resources. In some embodiments, in making such a determination, the processing device assesses performance metric information collected and associated with subsequent requests for the two or more embedded resources using each of a variety of alternative allocations of domains associated with the two or more embedded resources. The processing device may also consider a number of factors, including domain selection criteria obtained from an original content provider. Aspects of systems and methods for generating recommendations to use a particular allocation of domains to process a subsequent request corresponding to the two or more embedded resources are also provided.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

under control of one or more configured computer systems,

identifying two or more domain allocations to be individually utilized in conjunction with processing a content request corresponding to two or more embedded resources, wherein a domain allocation comprises an association between the two or more embedded resources and a set of domains, wherein the two or more domain allocations are different;

obtaining performance data related to processing the content request using individual ones of the two or more domain allocations; and

determining a recommended domain allocation for the two or more embedded resources from the two or more domain allocations.

2. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 further comprising causing, for individual ones of the two or more domain allocations, generation of an interface for display of the obtained performance data in relation to individual ones of the two or more embedded resources.

3. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations is a function of bandwidth.

4. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations is a function of a threshold number of simultaneous connections to a single domain.

5. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations is a function of a number of embedded resources corresponding to the content request.

6. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations is a function of a size associated with each of the embedded resources.

7. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations comprises receiving a request from a content provider to use a specific domain allocation.

8. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein individual domain allocations of the two or more domain allocations further specify an order associated with requesting each of the two or more embedded resources from a domain of the domain allocation.

9. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein the two or more domain allocations are identified based on previously processed performance metric information associated with a prior request for the two or more embedded resources.

10. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 further comprising:

for individual domain allocations of the two or more domain allocations;

associating, for individual embedded resources of the two or more embedded resources, a domain from the domain allocation and from which the associated embedded resource will be requested; and

causing an initiation of a request corresponding to the two or more embedded resources, wherein the request is associated with the domain allocation.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processing device including a processing component operative to;

identify two or more domain allocations to be individually utilized in conjunction with processing a content request corresponding to two or more embedded resources, wherein a domain allocation comprises an association between the two or more embedded resources and a set of domains, wherein the two or more domain allocations are different;

obtain performance data related to processing the content request using individual ones of the two or more domain allocations; and

determine a recommended domain allocation for the two or more embedded resources from the two or more domain allocations.

12. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the at least one processing device is further operative to cause, for individual ones of the two or more domain allocations, generation of an interface for display of the obtained performance data in relation to individual ones of the two or more embedded resources.

13. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations is a function of bandwidth.

14. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations is a function of a threshold number of simultaneous connections to a single domain.

15. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations is a function of a number of embedded resources corresponding to the content request.

16. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations is a function of a size associated with each of the embedded resources.

17. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein identifying two or more domain allocations comprises receiving a request from a content provider to use a specific domain allocation.

18. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein individual domain allocations of the two or more domain allocations further specify an order associated with requesting each of the two or more embedded resources from a domain of the domain allocation.

19. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the two or more domain allocations are identified based on previously processed performance metric information associated with a prior request for the two or more embedded resources.

20. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the at least one processing device is further operative to:

for individual domain allocations of the two or more domain allocations;

associate, for individual embedded resources of the two or more embedded resources, a domain from the domain allocation and from which the associated embedded resource will be requested; and

cause an initiation of a request corresponding to the two or more embedded resources, wherein the request is associated with the domain allocation.
