Abstract:
A system for measuring and monitoring performance of online content is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes an intermediary device, such as a web proxy, that receives client requests for content, such as requests for web pages. The device obtains the requested content, modifies it by applying one or more performance optimizations, and serves it to the client. The device also inserts code into the content for execution by the client to gather and report data reflecting, e.g., how quickly the client is able to get and process the content. The code includes information identifying the modifications the device made, and this is reported with the timing data, so that the effect on performance can be analyzed. In other embodiments, the device selects one of multiple versions of content, and the inserted code contains information identifying the selected version. The foregoing are merely examples; other embodiments are described herein.

Claim (Index 26):
A proxy server in a content delivery network (CDN) that has a plurality of proxy servers delivering content to clients, the proxy server comprising:\n a network interface for receiving a request for a markup language file associated with a web page, the request being received from a client; circuitry forming one or more processors and memory holding instructions to be executed by the one or more processors to cause the proxy server to respond to the request by:\n obtaining the markup language file from any of an origin server, a CDN network storage subsystem, a cache hierarchy parent, and a local cache; \n inserting code into the markup language file for execution by the client when processing the markup language file, the code comprising instructions that instruct the client to gather timing information reflecting the client's processing of the markup language file in order to display the web page, and instructions that instruct the client to transmit the timing information in a beacon to the CDN; \n including in the code an identifier that uniquely identifies at least one of:\n (i) a point of presence in the CDN in which the proxy server resides; \n (ii) an element from which the proxy server retrieved the markup language file, the network element comprising any of: the local cache, a cache-hierarchy parent, a CDN network storage subsystem, the origin server; \n (iii) an element from which the proxy server file any of retrieved and will retrieve an embedded object in the markup language file, the network element comprising any of: a local cache, a cache-hierarchy parent, a CDN network storage subsystem, an origin server; \n \n the code including instructions specifying that the client will transmit the identifier, as a field in the beacon, with the timing information; \n serving the markup language file with the inserted code to the client, in response to the request.
