Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and apparatus for speeding up Web page access, pertaining to the network field. The method includes: acquiring a URL address initiated by a user; judging whether the URL address is stored in a preset cache database, where the cache database stores a plurality of mapping relationships between URL addresses and cache data; and when it is judged that the URL address is stored in the preset cache database, acquiring cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database, processing the cache data, and rendering the Web page. According to the embodiments of present invention, logic for implementing the cache database is added at the browser end. In this way, no matter a Web server or a proxy server complies with the HTTP.

Claims

1. A method for speeding up Web page access, comprising:

acquiring a uniform/universal resource locator (URL) address initiated by a user;

judging whether the URL address is stored in a preset cache database, where the cache database stores a plurality of mapping relationships between URL addresses and cache data; and

when it is judged that the URL address is stored in the preset cache database, acquiring cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database, processing the cache data, and rendering the Web page;

wherein the acquiring cache data corresponding to the URL address from the preset cache database comprises;

judging whether the current browser is IE kernel-based or webkit kernel-based;

when the browser is IE kernel-based, calling Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols and acquiring the cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database; and

when the browser is webkit kernel-based, calling an interface for proactive resource load notification and acquiring the cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein before acquiring a URL address initiated by a user, the method further comprises:

collecting a plurality of Web pages according to a preset data collection program to acquire N URL addresses, N being an integer greater than 1; and

acquiring cache data corresponding to each of the N URL addresses, and storing the N URL addresses and the cache data corresponding to each of the N URL addresses in a cache database.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the data collection program comprises M collection factors, M being an integer greater than 1;

and the collecting a plurality of Web pages according to a preset data collection program to acquire N URL addresses comprises;

judging whether the URL address of each of the plurality of Web pages satisfies one of the M collection factors; and

acquiring the URL address when the URL address of the Web page satisfies one of the M collection factors.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the collection factors comprise at least the number of update times of the URL address, update time of the URL address, and status code of the URL address.

5. An apparatus for speeding up Web page access, comprising:

an acquiring module, configured to acquire a uniform/universal resource locator (URL) address initiated by a user;

a judging module, configured to judge whether the URL address is stored in a preset cache database, wherein the cache database stores a plurality of mapping relationships between URL addresses and cache data;

a processing module, configured to;

when the judging module judges that the URL address is stored in the preset cache database, acquire cache data corresponding to the URL from the cache database, process the cache data, and render the Web page;

wherein the processing module comprises an acquiring unit and a processing unit; and

wherein

the acquiring unit is configured to;

when the judging module judges that the URL address is stored in the preset cache database, judge whether the current browser is IE kernel-based or webkit kernel-based;

when the current browser is IE kernel-based, call Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols and acquire the cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database;

when the current browser is webkit kernel-based, call an interface for proactive resource notifications and acquire the cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database; and

the processing unit is configured to process the cache data and render the Web page.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising a collecting module and a cache database;

wherein

the collecting module is configured to collect a plurality of Web pages according to a preset data collection program to acquire N URL addresses, N being an integer greater than 1, and acquire cache data corresponding to each of the N URL addresses; and

the cache database is configured to store each of the N URL addresses collected by the collecting module and the cache data corresponding to each of the N URL addresses.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the collecting module comprises a judging unit and a collecting unit;

wherein

the judging unit is configured to judge, according to M collection factors comprised in the preset data collection program, the URL address of each of the plurality of Web pages satisfies one of the M collection factors, M being an integer greater than 1; and

the collecting unit is configured to acquire the URL address when the judging unit judges that the URL address of the Web page satisfies one of the M collection factors.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the collection factors comprise at least update times of the URL address, update time of the URL address, and status code of the URL address.

9. A device for speeding up Web page access, wherein the device includes:

memory, and

one or more processors,

wherein the one or more processors are configured to;

acquire a uniform/universal resource locator (URL) address initiated by a user;

judge whether the URL address is stored in a preset cache database, wherein the cache database stores a plurality of mapping relationships between URL addresses and cache data; and

when it is judged that the URL address is stored in the preset cache database, acquire cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database, process the cache data, and render the Web page;

wherein the one or more processors are further configured to;

judge whether the current browser is IE kernel-based or webkit kernel-based;

when the browser is IE kernel-based, call Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols and acquire the cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database; and

when the browser is webkit kernel-based, call an interface for proactive resource load notification and acquire the cache data corresponding to the URL address from the cache database.

10. The device according to claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

collect a plurality of Web pages according to a preset data collection program to acquire N URL addresses, N being an integer greater than 1; and

acquire cache data corresponding to each of the N URL addresses, and store the N URL addresses and the cache data corresponding to each of the N URL addresses in a cache database.

11. The device according to claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

judge whether the URL address of each of the plurality of Web pages satisfies one of the M collection factors; and

acquire the URL address when the URL address of the Web page satisfies one of the M collection factors.

12. The device according to claim 9, wherein the collection factors comprise at least the number of update times of the URL address, update time of the URL address, and status code of the URL address.
