Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for processing content comprising: obtaining, by a service provider, a request for a resource at an identifiable component of the service provider, the request for a resource corresponding to an embedded resource identifier, wherein the request for the resource is generated by a client computing device responsive to obtaining originally requested content including the embedded resource identifier from the service provider; transmitting, by the service provider, responsive processing information, wherein the responsive information includes information for identifying an alternative resource identifier and a command for causing a subsequent request for content corresponding to the alternative resource identifier to be transmitted by the client computing device to the service provider; obtaining, by the service provider, the subsequent request for a resource at an identifiable component of the service provider, the subsequent request for a resource corresponding to the alternative resource identifier, wherein the subsequent request for the resource is generated by the client computing device; and determining, by the service provider, latency information corresponding to the two requests for content, the latency information corresponding to communication latency between the client computing device and respective identifiable components of the service provider for the two requests for content.
