System, method and computer readable medium for transferring and rendering a web page

Abstract

A method of rendering a web page on a computer is disclosed. In the prior art, a server serves a web page only when both static and dynamic contents of the web page are available. The dynamic contents, which are usually not readily available, require some processing time and thus a user requesting the web page usually experiences a noticeable delay. The method of the present invention includes receiving data of the page from a second computer, where the data includes a dynamic reference referencing dynamic data that at least partially defines the page. The page is then partially rendered on the first computer by first rendering available page data other than the dynamic data. The dynamic data associated with the dynamic reference is received, and the received dynamic data is rendered to complete rendering of the page on the first computer.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
