WILLIAM MATTHEW HOFFMAN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250110860
    Abstract: Techniques, which may be embodied herein as systems, computing devices, methods, algorithms, software, code, computer readable media, or the like, are described herein for comparing a set of metrics generated during a simulated user interaction with a website to metrics generated by observing real user interactions with the website. Simulated user interactions with a website can be used to diagnose a website's performance issues, but it can be difficult to determine whether the simulated interactions reflect the experience of real users. In addition, the simulated user interactions can be challenging to contextualize because the number of observed real user interactions may significantly outnumber the simulated interactions. A graphical user interface can help with the interpretation of these website interactions by using the real user interactions to properly contextualize the simulated results.

  • Patent number: 12124324
    Abstract: A method for identifying and indicating resource access faults associated with a webpage. The method includes receiving a machine-readable file that includes a plurality of instructions defining at least content and structure of a webpage. The method further comprises causing a browser to load the webpage based at least in part on the machine-readable file; determining resource utilization associated with the load of the webpage; identifying one or more resource access faults associated with the machine-readable file based at least in part on the determined resource utilization and a resource access instruction policy; for each of the one or more resource access faults, identifying an instruction of the plurality of instructions that corresponds to the particular resource access fault; and causing display of the one or more instructions.

  • Patent number: 11716405
    Abstract: A method for improving loading time of network results associated with cache misses at a server. The method can include requesting content associated with a webserver; receiving responses from the server; identifying a particular response that includes a cache miss indicator in a header portion of a network message; determining whether the content of the particular response is dynamically generated content or static content; and/or causing display of the cache miss indicator based on a determination that the content is dynamically generated content.
