Reduction in redirect navigation latency via speculative preconnection

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer storage mediums for reducing navigation redirect latency by using speculative preconnection. A redirect speculation value is retrieved in response to a request for a source Uniform Resource Locator (URL), where the redirect speculation value is based on the source URL. The redirect speculation value includes the source URL, a target URL, and a probability factor. A preconnection to the target URL's hostname is then initiated based on the probability factor. Next, a response from the request to the source URL is received, where the response includes a redirect URL. Finally, the preconnection is used to process the redirect URL when the redirect URL is similar to the target URL.

1. A computer-implemented method for reducing navigation redirect latency by using speculative preconnection comprising:
retrieving, in response to a request for a source Uniform Resource Locator (URL), a first redirect speculation value based on the source URL, wherein the first redirect speculation value includes the source URL, a target URL, and a first probability factor; initiating a preconnection to the target URL's hostname based on the first probability factor; receiving a response from the request to the source URL, wherein the response includes a redirect URL; and using the preconnection to process the redirect URL when the redirect URL is similar to the target URL.
