Abstract

Technologies described reduce the amount of time between requesting content and receiving the requested content. In some embodiments, a client provides a search query. A search result page is generated and, prior to returning the search result page to the client, some or all of the search results are asynchronously pre-fetched and cached. The search query can include custom parameters that are also included in the pre-fetch requests. Web addresses in the search results page can be modified to indicate whether a prefetch operation was initiated. Once a user activates one of the search results, the responding web server uses the cached data while generating a response.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

identifying a plurality of search result Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) based on a search query received from a client;
initiating a request for content to at least one of the plurality of search result URLs;
retrieving content received in response to the request and classifying the retrieved content to identify at least a portion of the retrieved content that is generated specific to the client;
caching the retrieved content, the cached content excluding the portion of the retrieved content that is generated specific to the client;
receiving a request from the client for the at least one of the plurality of search result URLs;
generating a response to the request based on the cached content and storing the cached content after generating the response;
and
responsive to receiving a request from a different client for the at least one of the plurality of search result URLs, transmitting a response to the different client that includes at least a portion of the cached content.

5 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
identifying a plurality of search result Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) based on a search query received from a client;
initiating a request for content to at least one of the plurality of search result URLs;
retrieving content received in response to the request and parsing the retrieved content to identify at least a portion of the retrieved content that is generated specific to the client;
caching the retrieved content, the cached content excluding the portion of the retrieved content that is generated specific to the client;
receiving a request from the client for the at least one of the plurality of search result URLs;
generating a response to the request based on the cached content and storing the cached content after generating the response;
and
responsive to receiving a request from a different client for the at least one of the plurality of search result URLs, transmitting a response to the different client that includes at least a portion of the cached content.

8 more elements

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

identifying a plurality of search result Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) based on a search query received from a client;
initiating a request for content to at least one of the plurality of search result URLs;
retrieving content received in response to the request and classifying the retrieved content to identify at least a portion of the retrieved content that is generated specific to the client;
caching the retrieved content, the cached content excluding the portion of the retrieved content that is generated specific to the client;
separately caching the portion of the retrieved content that is generated specific to the client;
receiving a request from the client for the at least one of the plurality of search result URLs;
generating a response to the request based on the cached content and the separately cached content and storing the cached content and the separately cached content after generating the response;
and
responsive to receiving a request from a different client for the at least one of the plurality of search result URLs, transmitting a response to the different client that includes at least a portion of the cached content and excludes the separately cached content.
