Patent number: 11647096Abstract: A request for a web page is received at a proxy server. The request originates from a client network application of a client device. The requested web page includes multiple references to multiple images. The proxy server retrieves the requested web page. The proxy server modifies code of the retrieved web page such that the client network application will not, for each one of those images, initially request those images when parsing the page. The proxy server also adds code to the retrieved web page that, when executed by the client network application, causes at least two of the images to be requested with a single request. The proxy server transmits the modified web page to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Christopher Stephen Joel, Lee Hahn Holloway, Dane Orion Knecht, Albertus Strasheim

Patent number: 11621924Abstract: A proxy server automatically includes web applications in web pages at the network level. The proxy server receives, from a client device, a request for a network resource at a domain and is hosted at an origin server. The proxy server retrieves the requested network resource. The retrieved network resource does not include the web applications. The proxy server determines that the web applications are to be installed within the network resource. The proxy server automatically modifies the retrieved network resource to include the web applications. The proxy server transmits a response to the client device that includes the modified network resource. The network resource may remain unchanged at the origin server.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Matthew Browning Prince, Matthieu Philippe François Tourne, Christopher Stephen Joel, John Brinton Roberts, Michael Jonas Sofaer, Jason Thomas Walter Benterou

Patent number: 9769240Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving loading of web resources. A server receives a request for a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document requested by a client network application. The server retrieves the requested document. The server automatically modifies objects referenced in the HTML document that have an external source such that loading of those objects by the client network application will be deferred. The server inserts a client-side script loader or a reference to the client-side script loader into the HTML document. The client-side script loader is configured to, when executed by the client network application, attempt to load the objects that have been deferred. The server transmits the modified HTML document to the client network application.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Christopher Stephen Joel, Jason Thomas Walter Benterou, Lee Hahn Holloway, Matthew Browning Prince, Ian Gerald Pye

The requested web page includes multiple references to multiple images. The proxy server retrieves the requested web page. The proxy server modifies code of the retrieved web page such that the client network application will not, for each one of images, request that image until the location where that image is to be displayed is within a viewport of the client network application or within a defined distance from the viewport of the client network application. The proxy server transmits the modified web page to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Christopher Stephen Joel, Michael Sofaer, Lee Hahn Holloway, Ray Raymond Bejjani, Matthieu Philippe François Tourne, Sébastien Andreas Henry Pahl, Dane Orion Knecht
