Proactive conditioned prefetching and origin flooding mitigation for content delivery

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for performing a method comprising:
• receiving a first request to access a first webpage from a first client computer system coupled to the network;
• establishing a first session with the first client computer system;
• transmitting a second request to a first server in the network in response to receiving the first request;
• receiving a first file for rendering the first webpage;
• transmitting the first file to the first client computer system;
• extracting one or more hyperlinks to one or more second webpages from the first file;
• prefetching one or more second files for rendering respective ones of the one or more second webpages;
• storing the one or more second files in a first session cache associated with the first session;
• receiving a third request to access a third webpage from the first client computer system;
• determining if the one or more second files include a third file for rendering the third webpage;
• retrieving the third file from the first session cache in response to determination that the one or more second files include the third file for rendering the third webpage;
• transmitting the third file to the first client computer system;
• detecting content specific to the first client computer system from the first file;
• removing the content specific to the first client computer system from the first file to generate a first template file;
• and
• storing the first template file in a public cache distinct from the first session cache;
• wherein the first request includes a first IP address, the method further comprising:
• receiving a fifth request to access a fifth webpage from a second client computer systems, the fifth request including the first IP address;
• extracting information about the second client computer system from the fifth request;
• retrieving the first template file from the public cache;
• inserting the information about the second client computer system into the first template file to generate a fifth file for rendering the fifth webpage;
• and transmitting the fifth file to the second client computer system.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by an electronic device with a display, the one or more programs comprising instructions for performing a method comprising:

• receiving a first request to access a first webpage from a first client computer system coupled to the network;
• establishing a first session with the first client computer system;
• transmitting a second request to a first server in the network in response to receiving the first request;
• receiving a first file for rendering the first webpage;
• transmitting the first file to the first client computer system;
• extracting one or more hyperlinks to one or more second webpages from the first file;
• prefetching one or more second files for rendering respective ones of the one or more second webpages;
• storing the one or more second files in a first session cache associated with the first session;
• receiving a third request to access a third webpage from the first client computer system;
• determining if the one or more second files include a third file for rendering the third webpage;
• retrieving the third file from the first session cache in response to determination that the one or more second files include the third file for rendering the third webpage;
• and
• transmitting the third file to the first client computer system;
• detecting content specific to the first client computer system from the first file;
• removing the content specific to the first client computer system from the first file to generate a first template file;
• and
• storing the first template file in a public cache distinct from the first session cache;
• wherein the first request includes a first IP address, the method further comprising:
• receiving a fifth request to access a fifth webpage from a second client computer systems, the fifth request including the first IP address;
• extracting information about the second client computer system from the fifth request;
• retrieving the first template file from the public cache;
• inserting the information about the second client computer system into the first template file to generate a fifth file for rendering the fifth webpage;
• and transmitting the fifth file to the second client computer system.
