Claim Text:
1. A method to select an optimal webpage configuration for a server farm, comprising: determining, by a first server of the server farm and in response to a recurring trigger event, a first measure of user response of a first user group to a plurality of webpage configurations as presented by the first server to the first user group; determining a current selection of the plurality of webpage configurations, wherein the current selection is a first candidate of the optimal webpage configuration prior to the pre-determined trigger event; determining, by the first server and in response to determining the first measure of user response, an updated selection from the plurality of webpage configurations, obtaining, by the first server and in response to targeting the updated selection to replace the current selection, a second measure of user response, a first burden rate of the first server and a second burden rate of the second server, aggregating, by the first server, the first measure of user response and at least the second measure of user response to generate an aggregate user response measure, wherein the first measure of user response and the second measure of user response are inversely weighted by the first burden rate and the second burden rate, respectively, in the aggregate user response measure; and selecting, by the first server and based on the aggregate user response measure, one of the current selection and the updated selection as the first candidate of the optimal webpage configuration subsequent to the pre-determined trigger event.
