Abstract

This disclosure relates to requesting content items of a web page, via a first request and a second request and responding to the requests. The server computer receives the first request from a client computer and responds to the first request by sending a plurality of default content items to the requesting client computer. The server computer receives the second request from the client computer and responds to the second request by sending a plurality of non-default content items to the requesting client computer. In one or more disclosed embodiments, the client computer stores the plurality of non-default content items in a cache. This disclosure also relates to parsing data in the cache.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving, at a server computer, a first request from a client computer for a first content item of a web page, the first request received in response to a user request for the web page at the client computer;

interpreting, based on the first request being an initial request for content of the web page, that the first request is for one or more default content items of the web page;

identifying one or more default content items of the web page based on the one or more default content items being pre-classified as default content items;

responding to the first request with the one or more default content items of the web page for display as part of the web page and without providing one or more non-default content items of the web page with the one or more default content items;

receiving, at a server computer, a second request from the client computer for a second content item of the web page, the second request being interpreted to be a request for the one or more non-default content items of the web page and being received in response to a user interaction with the one or more default content items of the web page;

identifying one or more non-default content items of the web page based on the one or more non-default content items being pre-classified as non-default content items; and

responding to the second request with the one or more non-default content items of the web page for display as part of the web page.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more default content items includes substantially all content items that are classified as default content items in the response to the first request, and the one or more non-default content items includes substantially all content items classified as non-default content items in the response to the second request.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining which content items of the web page are classified as default content items and which content items are classified as non-default content items based on classifications written into code for the respective content items.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

interpreting the first request to be a request for one or more default content items based on a query string of the first request; and

interpreting the second request to be a request for one or more non-default content items based on a query string of the second request.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the web page is divided into fragments and each fragment is a content item, further comprising responding to the second request with a plurality of fragments that are each classified as non-default content items.

6. One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that are executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a receiving device, a request from a requesting device for content items of a web page as part of an initial request for the web page;

interpreting, based on the request for content items being part of the initial request for the web page, that the request for content items is a request for one or more default content items of the web page;

identifying individual content items of a group of content items as either a default content item or a non-default content item based on size attributes of the individual content items, with one or more default content items being identified as default content items based on the one or more default content items being smaller in size than one or more non-default content items; and

responding to the request with the one or more default content items and without providing one or more non-default content items of the web page with the one or more default content items.

7. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 6, wherein said identifying individual content items of a group of content items as either a default content item or a non-default content item is further based on one or more flags that identify individual content items as either a default content item or a non-default content item.

8. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 6, wherein said identifying comprises comparing the individual content items to a size threshold.

9. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 6, wherein said identifying individual content items of a group of content items as either a default content item or a non-default content item is further based on code in the individual content items that identify the individual content items as either a default content item or a non-default content item.

10. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 6, wherein said identifying individual content items of a group of content items as either a default content item or a non-default content item is further based on an indication as to how quickly the individual content items are expected to load.

11. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 6, wherein the individual content items of the group are pre-classified as either a default content item or a non-default content item prior to receiving the request for one or more default content items.

12. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 6, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a different request that requests one or more non-default content items of the web page; and

responding to the different request with one or more non-default content items.

13. A system comprising:

one or more hardware-based processors;

a memory storing computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more hardware-based processors to cause the system to perform operations including;

receiving, at a server computer, a first request from a client computer for a first content item of a web page, the first request received in response to a user request for the web page at the client computer;

interpreting, based on the first request being an initial request for content of the web page, that the first request is for one or more default content items of the web page;

identifying one or more default content items of the web page based on the one or more default content items being pre-classified as default content items;

responding to the first request with the one or more default content items of the web page for display as part of the web page and without providing one or more non-default content items of the web page;

receiving, at a server computer, a second request from the client computer for a second content item of the web page, the second request being interpreted to be a request for the one or more non-default content items of the web page and being received in response to a user interaction with the one or more default content items of the web page;

identifying one or more non-default content items of the web page based on the one or more non-default content items being pre-classified as non-default content items; and

responding to the second request with the one or more non-default content items of the web page for display as part of the web page.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more default content items includes substantially all content items that are classified as default content items in the response to the first request, and the one or more non-default content items includes substantially all content items classified as non-default content items in the response to the second request.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the operations further include determining which content items of the web page are classified as default content items and which content items are classified as non-default content items based on classifications written into code for the respective content items.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the operations further include:

interpreting the first request to be a request for one or more default content items based on a query string of the first request; and

interpreting the second request to be a request for one or more non-default content items based on a query string of the second request.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein the web page is divided into fragments and each fragment is a content item, and wherein the operations further include responding to the second request with a plurality of fragments that are each classified as non-default content items.

18. The system of claim 13, wherein said identifying one or more default content items comprises identifying the one or more default content items of the web page based on the one or more default content items being flagged as default content items.

19. The system of claim 13, wherein said identifying one or more non-default content items comprises identifying the one or more non-default content items of the web page based on the one or more non-default content items being flagged as non-default content items.

20. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more default content items of the web page are pre-classified as default content items based on a content size threshold.
