  • Patent number: 8543675
    Abstract: Consistent link sharing is implemented on one or more share servers. Consistent link sharing includes receiving a request from a user to store a web page that resides on an originating server to one or more share servers. The request includes a universal resource locator (URL) of the web page, which is a web page stored on the share servers of a content distribution network. The share servers generate a replacement URL for future access to the stored web page. The replacement URL may be shared with one or more users. The share servers provide the stored web page to a user who submits the replacement URL.

  • Patent number: 8489737
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the performance associated with fulfilling resource requests are provided. One or more client computing devices obtain an original resource request and associate a record identifier with the original resource request. The one or more client computing devices also determine performance data associated with processing each embedded resource request included in a response to the original resource request. Each embedded resource request is associated with a component record identifier that is associated with, but different from, the record identifier of the original resource request. The one or more client computing devices can then transmit the determined performance data with the record identifier to another processing device.

  • Patent number: 8452870
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring the performance associated with fulfilling resource requests and determining optimizations for improving such performance are provided. A processing device obtains and processes performance metric information associated with processing a request corresponding to two or more embedded resources. The processing device uses the processed performance metric information to determine an allocation of one or more domains to be associated with the two or more embedded resources. In some embodiments, in making such a determination, the processing device assesses performance metric information collected and associated with subsequent requests for the two or more embedded resources using each of a variety of alternative allocations of domains associated with the two or more embedded resources. The processing device may also consider a number of factors, including domain selection criteria obtained from an original content provider.

  • Patent number: 8185634
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring the performance associated with fulfilling resource requests and determining optimizations for improving such performance are provided. A processing device obtains and processes performance information associated with processing a first and second resource request. The processing device uses the processed performance information to determine a consolidation configuration to be associated with a subsequent request for the content corresponding to the first request. In making such a determination, the processing device identifies common embedded resources corresponding to the first and second resource requests and dynamically identifies one or more sets of embedded resources corresponding to the first resource request, each identified set to be consolidated into a single embedded resource for use in responding to the subsequent request.

  • Patent number: 8122124
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the performance associated with fulfilling resource requests are provided. A client computing component associated with a client computing device identifies an original resource request and associates a record identifier with the original resource request. The client computing component transmits the original resource request and the associated record identifier to a performance measurement component. The client computing component also determines performance data associated with processing the original resource request. In response to the transmission from the client computing component, the performance measurement component further transmits the original resource request and also monitors performance associated with processing the original resource request as well as any embedded resource requests included in a response to the original resource request.
