Server side web based ad stitching and user specific optimization
Server side web based ad stitching and user specific optimization are disclosed. In various embodiments, a request for a page is received via a communication interface. A processor is used to provide an optimized version of the page at least in part by determining dynamically an optimized content element for the page based at least in part on a user attribute associated with the request and including the optimized content element as a static element in the optimized version of the page.
1. A system, comprising:
a communication interface configured to receive a request for a page; and
a processor coupled to the communication interface and configured to:
in response to the request, retrieve from a publisher an original version of the page; and
provide an optimized version of the page at least in part by determining dynamically an optimized content element for the page based at least in part on a user attribute associated with the request and including the optimized content element as a static element in the optimized version of the page, wherein the optimized version of the page omits at least one script included in the original version of the page and includes dynamic content in the optimized version of the page prior to the optimized version of the page being provided to a browser that sent the request.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises a server.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises an edge server.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises an edge server associated with a content distribution network.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimized content element is determined based at least in part on a browsing history of a user.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimized content element is determined based at least in part on a content consumption metric associated with a user.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimized content element is determined based at least in part on previous user engagement with the optimized content element.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein a placement of the optimized content element within the optimized version of the page is determined based at least in part on previous user engagement with the optimized content element.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimized content element is determined based at least in part on a content consumption metric associated with the optimized content element.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimized content element is determined based at least in part on a demographic or other personal attribute of a user.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine an optimal placement of the optimized content element within the optimized version of the page.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a page structure of the page.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to use the page structure and the user attribute to determine an optimal placement of the optimized content element within the optimized version of the page.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimized content element comprises publisher content.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimized content element comprises the dynamic content.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the dynamic content is included in the optimized version of the page in place of the at least one script or other code that would otherwise be executed by the browser associated with the request.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimized version of the page comprises a first optimized version of the page and the processor is further configured to perform testing to compare performance of the first optimized version of the page with a second optimized version of the page.
18. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a memory or other storage device and wherein the processor is further configured to cache the optimized content element in the memory or other storage device.
19. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a memory or other storage device and wherein the processor is further configured to store in the memory or other storage device a representation of a page structure of the page.
20. A method, comprising:
receiving a request for a page;
in response to the request, retrieving from a publisher an original version of the page; and
using a processor to provide an optimized version of the page at least in part by determining dynamically an optimized content element for the page based at least in part on a user attribute associated with the request and including the optimized content element as a static element in the optimized version of the page, wherein the optimized version of the page omits at least one script included in the original version of the page and includes dynamic content in the optimized version of the page prior to the optimized version of the page being provided to a browser that sent the request.
21. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving via a communication interface a request for a page;
in response to the request, retrieving from a publisher an original version of the page; and
using a processor to provide an optimized version of the page at least in part by determining dynamically an optimized content element for the page based at least in part on a user attribute associated with the request and including the optimized content element as a static element in the optimized version of the page, wherein the optimized version of the page omits at least one script included in the original version of the page and includes dynamic content in the optimized version of the page prior to the optimized version of the page being provided to a browser that sent the request.
