Reducing the impact of network latency on application performance

摘要

An exemplary method performed by a proxy server located between a content server and a client browser for reducing effects of network latency therebetween comprises intercepting a request from the client browser for a resource at the content server, obtaining a response by the content server to the request, determining that the response would, if unmodified, require a plurality of communications between the content server and the client browser in the absence of the proxy server, modifying the response to reduce a network latency associated with the plurality of communications for accessing information located externally to the response, and transmitting the modified response to the client browser for use thereby.

1. A method for reducing effects of latency on a network connecting at least a content server and a client browser, the method comprising:
at a single proxy server located between said content server and said client browser:
intercepting a request from said client browser for a resource at said content server;obtaining a response by said content server to said request;evaluating whether said response would, if unmodified, require a plurality of communications by said client browser to said content server in the absence of said single proxy server;upon determining that said response would require a plurality of communications:
obtaining information indicated by said response;modifying said response to include the obtained information to reduce a network latency by causing a reduction in said plurality of communications by eliminating at least one additional access of said information by said client browser; andtransmitting said modified response to said client browser for use thereby; andupon determining that said response would not require a plurality of communications:
transmitting said response to said client browser for use thereby.
