Dynamic Tag Management for Optimizing Content Delivery

摘要

Some embodiments provide a content delivery network (CDN) solution that affords the CDN control over those elements of customer content that are delivered by third parties. The CDN integrates a distributed set of monitoring agents. Each monitoring agent monitors the delivery performance of third parties to the region in which the agent operates. The CDN uses the performance monitoring information to dynamically manage the content tags to the third-party delivered elements of CDN-customer content. Specifically, a CDN server retrieves the parent page for requested CDN-customer content. The CDN server identifies the region from where the request originates and retrieves the logs from the monitoring agents monitoring from that region. The CDN server then modifies the base page by dynamically removing the tags to the third-party delivered elements that are reported in the monitoring agent logs as being unavailable, inaccessible, or underperforming in the identified region.

1. A method performed for optimizing delivery of a customer page accessible at a first domain, the customer page comprising a first tag linking to first content provided from a different second domain, the method comprising:
receiving a request for said customer page at a machine operating within the first domain, the request comprising an address of a user submitting the request; mapping said address to a geographic region; retrieving monitoring results measuring delivery performance from the second domain to said geographic region; producing a modified customer page by removing the first tag when the delivery performance from the second domain to said region does not satisfy a threshold; and passing the modified customer page without the first tag to the user in response to said request.
