Abstract: Methods, systems and programming for delivering web page content using edge server. In one example, a request is received from a user for a page including at least a piece of generic content and a plurality pieces of customized content. The request is forwarded from the user to a content server over the network. The piece of generic content and a first type of instruction are sent to the user.

Each of the plurality pieces of customized content is sent to the user upon receiving a respective piece of customize content from the content server. The plurality pieces of customized content are to be assembled on the page in accordance with the first type of instruction.

Abstract: A method for smart preloading of content resources on client devices is provided. The method includes operations for presenting an interface running on a client device that includes a plurality of content indicators associated with a plurality of content items. The method includes an operation for selectively preloading into a cache of the client device a resource associated with a content item if the content item has a level of engagement that is greater than that of other content items. According to this embodiment, the level of engagement is a measurement of interaction to the content items by other users associated with the user by, for example, a social network.

Abstract: Software on a client device presents a webpage through a browser. The webpage is from an online content-aggregation website and includes a plurality of panels containing a plurality of content items. The software selectively pre-loads into a cache a resource associated with a content item in a panel if the content item is relatively persistent in comparison to other content items. The cache is controlled by the browser. The software retrieves the resource from the cache upon receiving command from a user and presents the resource through the browser.
