Managing network based content

A system for obtaining network content comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• at least one computer memory accessible by at least one of the one or more computer processors;
• and
• a network computing component comprising an executable software module executed by the one or more computer processors, wherein the network computing component is operable to:
• obtain a client request for a network resource from a client computing device, wherein the network resource is associated with one or more embedded resources;
• provide a network computing component request for the network resource to a first content provider;
• obtain, in response to the network computing component request to the first content provider, the one or more embedded resources associated with the network resource from a second content provider, wherein the first content provider determines the one or more embedded resources to be provided to the network computing component responsive to the network computing component request for the network resource and without receiving a network computing component request for the one or more embedded resources in connection with the network computing component request for the network resource, wherein the one or more embedded resources are provided by the second content provider to the network computing component responsive to one or more requests for the one or more embedded resources from the first content provider to the second content provider, and wherein the one or more embedded resources are obtained by the network computing component without the network computing component requesting the one or more embedded resources from the first or second content provider;
• and
• provide the one or more embedded resources to the client computing device.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining, by a network computing provider comprising one or more computing devices configured to execute specific instructions, a client request for a network resource from a client computing device, wherein the network resource is associated with one or more embedded resources;
• providing, by the network computing provider, a network computing provider request for the network resource to a first content provider;
• obtaining, by the network computing provider, the network resource from the first content provider;
• obtaining, by the network computing provider in response to the network computing provider request to the first content provider, the one or more embedded resources associated with the network resource from a second content provider, wherein the first content provider determines the one or more embedded resources to be provided to the network computing provider responsive to the network computing provider request for the network resource and without receiving a network computing provider request for the one or more embedded resources in connection with the network computing provider request for the network resource, wherein the one or more embedded resources are provided by the second content provider to the network computing provider responsive to a request for the one or more embedded resources from the first content provider to the second content provider, and wherein obtaining the one or more embedded resources associated with the network resource from a second content provider includes obtaining the one or more embedded resources without requesting the one or more embedded resources from the first or second content provider;
• and
• providing the network resource and the one or more embedded resources to the client computing device.
