Service provider optimization of content management
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring performance associated with processing a resource request, the system comprising:
- at least one processing device operative to;
identify a plurality of service providers to be utilized in conjunction with processing a request for at least one resource, wherein the plurality of service providers at least one of hosts or processes content on behalf of a content provider;
for individual identified service providers;
cause an initiation of a request for the at least one resource to the identified service provider; and
responsive to processing the request, obtain performance data corresponding to the processing of the request using the identified service provider; and
dynamically determine one of the plurality of service providers for the at least one resource at least based in part on the performance data corresponding to processing the same at least one resource using the individual identified service providers.

Abstract
A system and method 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 for an original resource and any embedded resource. The processing device uses the processed performance metric information to determine a set of service providers for alternatively hosting, processing, and/or transmitting at least a portion of the original resource and/or any embedded resources. In some embodiments, in making such a determination, the processing device assesses performance metric information collected and associated with subsequent resource requests for the original resource and any embedded resources using each of a variety of alternative set(s) of service providers. Aspects of systems and methods for generating recommendations associated with monitoring the operation and performance of service providers with respect to specific resource requests are also provided.

11. A method comprising:
-
identifying one or more service providers to be utilized to resolve a request for at least one resource, wherein the one or more service providers at least one of host or process content on behalf of a content provider; responsive to identification of the one or more service providers, for individual identified service providers; causing a client computing device to initiate a request for the at least one resource to the identified service provider; and responsive to resolving the request, obtaining performance data corresponding to the resolving of the request using the identified service provider; and dynamically determining a service provider for resolving subsequent requests for the at least one resource, wherein the dynamic determination is at least based in part on the performance data corresponding to resolving the same at least one resource using the individual identified service providers, wherein the method is implemented by at least one processing device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for monitoring performance associated with processing a request for at least one resource, the system comprising:
at least one processing device operative to; identify one or more service providers to be utilized in conjunction with processing a request for at least one resource, wherein the one or more service providers at least one of host or process content on behalf of a content provider and wherein individual service providers are associated with different domains; responsive to identification of the one or more service providers, for individual identified service providers; cause an initiation of a request for the at least one resource to the identified service provider; and obtain performance data related to processing of the request using the identified service provider; and dynamically determine a service provider to process a subsequent request for the at least one resource from a client computing device, wherein the dynamic determination is at least based in part on the performance data corresponding to processing the at least one resource using the individual identified service providers. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)

23. A method comprising:
-
identifying one or more service providers to be utilized in conjunction with processing a request for at least one resource, wherein the one or more service providers at least one of host or process content on behalf of a content provider and wherein individual service providers are associated with different domains; responsive to identification of the one or more service providers, for individual identified service providers; causing an initiation of a request for the at least one resource to the identified service provider; and responsive to processing the request, obtaining performance data corresponding to the processing of the request using the identified service provider; and dynamically determining a service provider to process a subsequent request for the at least one resource from a client computing device, wherein the dynamic determination is at least based in part on the performance data corresponding to processing the at least one resource using the individual identified service providers, wherein the method is implemented by at least one processing device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
