Abstract

A method and system for modifying web pages, including dynamic web pages, based on automated analysis wherein web pages are transformed based on transformation instructions in nearly real-time, and wherein analysis is performed and transformation instructions based on the analysis are prepared prior to a request for the web page. The system has two primary components, an analyzer which asynchronously and repeatedly analyzes web pages creating and updating transformation instructions relating to the web pages, and a transformer which intercepts traffic to a web server in response to a request for the web page, receives the returned web pages, and transforms them based on stored transformation instructions.

Claims20

Dependent claims

In a system wherein a web page is accessible to a client from a server, and wherein the web page has an associated Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or link thereto corresponding to an address, wherein in response to a request for the web page the server provides the web page to the client, a method of, providing a modified web page to the client in response to a request from the client, comprising:

asynchronous to, and prior to said request from the client, in dependence upon predetermined conditions, analyzing at least a portion of the requested web page with an analyzer in a computer based system to identify at least a predetermined characteristic and creating transformation instructions that will change the predetermined characteristic when the web page is modified;
and
storing the transformation instructions in a repository;
modifying the web page provided by the server in response to the request to the web page based on transformation instructions that were stored in the repository prior to said request from the client;
and,
providing the modified web page to the client.
