Automatically Redirecting Mobile Client Devices to Optimized Mobile Content

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a processor of a server, will cause said processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a first client device, a first request for a first document;
• determining, from the first request, that the first client device is a mobile client device;
• determining that the first document requested in the first request is not an optimized mobile version;
• determining that there is an optimized mobile version of the first document that is located at a different location from a location of the requested first document;
• instead of transmitting the first document requested in the first request to the first client device, transmitting a redirect message to the first client device to the optimized mobile version of the first document that is located at the different location;
• receiving, from the first client device, a second request for the optimized mobile version of the first document that is located at the different location;
• retrieving the optimized mobile version of the first document;
• and
• transmitting, to the client device, the optimized mobile version of the first document.

A server, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by the processor, causes the server to perform operations including:
• receive, from a first client device, a first request for a first document;
• determine, from the first request, that the first client device is a mobile client device;
• determine that the first document requested in the first request is not an optimized mobile version;
• determine that there is an optimized mobile version of the first document that is located at a different location from a location of the requested first document;
• instead of transmitting the first document requested in the first request to the first client device, transmit a redirect message to the first client device to the optimized mobile version of the first document that is located at the different location;
• receive, from the first client device, a second request for the optimized mobile version of the first document that is located at the different location;
