Among other things, this document describes systems, devices, and methods for improving the delivery and performance of web pages authored to produce virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) experiences. In some embodiments, such web pages are analyzed. This analysis may be initiated at the request of a content server that receives a client request for the HTML. The analysis may involve, asynchronous to the client request, loading the page into a non-user-facing browser environment and allowing the VR or AR scene to execute, even including executing animation routines for a predetermined period of time. Certain characteristics of the scene and of objects are thereby captured. Based on this information, an object list ordered by loading priority is prepared. Consulting this information in response to subsequent requests for the page, a content server can implement server push, early hints and/or other delivery enhancements.
A method performed by one or more servers, each of which comprises circuitry forming one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution on the one or more processors, the method comprising:
A system, comprising one or more servers in a content delivery network, each of the one or more servers comprising circuitry forming at least one processor and memory storing instructions for execution on the at least one processor to operate the system as set forth below:
A non-transitory computer readable medium holding computer program instructions for execution on at least one hardware processor, the computer program instructions comprising instructions to:
