Apparatus, system, and method for archiving small objects to improve the loading time of a web page

A system for improving the loading time of a web page, the system comprising:

• an archiver comprising:
• a selection module configured to select archivable objects in a web page for inclusion in an archive file, the web page referencing at least one archivable object;
• an archive generator module configured to generate the archive file from the selected archivable objects;
• and
• a web page generator module configured to generate a web page, the generated web page configured to display in a script enabled web browser, wherein generating a web page comprises inserting executable code into the generated web page configured to retrieve the archive file, inserting executable code into the generated web page configured to unpackage the archivable objects from the archive file, and inserting executable code into the generated web page configured to render the generated web page using the unpackaged archivable objects from the archive file;
• a web server application configured to deliver the generated web page and the archive file over a network;
• and
• a web host configured to operate the web server application, the computing device accessible over a network, the computing device comprising a central processing unit and memory.

A method for deploying computing infrastructure comprising integrating computer-readable code into a computing system, wherein the code in combination with the computing system is capable of performing the following:

• selecting archivable objects in a web page for inclusion in an archive file
• wherein each archivable object selected has a size less than a threshold value and wherein each archivable object selected is prioritized according to one or more prioritization criteria;
• generating the archive file from the selected archivable objects wherein the archivable objects in the archive file are ordered according to the priority of the archivable objects;
• and
• rewriting a web page configured to display in a script enabled web browser,
• wherein the web page comprises:
• executable code configured to retrieve the archive file;
• executable code configured to unpackage the archivable objects from the archive file;
• and
• executable code configured to render the web page in a web browser using the unpackaged archivable objects from the archive file.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having computer usable program code programmed for improved loading time of web pages, the operations of the computer program product comprising:

• requesting a web page having archivable objects for inclusion in an archive file;
• receiving a generated web page, the web page having executable code configured to:
• retrieve the archive file;
• unpackage the archivable objects from the archive file;
• and
• render the web page in a web browser using the unpackaged archivable objects from the archive file;
• executing code to retrieve the archive file;
• executing code to unpackage the archivable objects from the archive file;
• and
• executing code to render the web page in a web browser using the unpackaged archivable objects from the archive file.
