Implementations an optimizing a browser rendering process that identifies content neutral web pages and renders such web pages without scripting. An example method includes receiving a request to render a web page identified by a URL and, prior to rendering, determining that the URL is identified as content neutral URL in a data store. The method also includes rendering the web page with scripting turned off, regardless of browser settings for scripting, responsive to determining that the URL is a content neutral URL. Determining that the URL is a content neutral URL can include determining that the URL is content neutral for a type of browser handling the request to render the web page and/or sending a request to a service that determines whether the URL is a content neutral URL and receiving a response from the service indicating the URL is a content neutral URL.

Optimized browser render process

Implementations optimize a browser render process by identifying content neutral embedded items and rendering a web page without fetching the content neutral items. An example method includes identifying a URL pattern common to a plurality of URLs stored in fetch records and selecting a sample of URLs from the plurality. The method also includes, for each URL in the sample, determining whether the URL is optional by generating a first rendering result using content for the URL and a second rendering result without using the content for the URL and calculating a similarity score for the URL by comparing the first rendering result and the second rendering result, the URL being optional when the similarity score is greater than a similarity threshold. The method may also include storing the URL pattern in a data store of optional resource patterns when a majority of the URLs in the sample are optional.

Optimized browser rendering service

Implementations an optimizing a browser rendering process that identifies content neutral web pages and renders such web pages without scripting. An example method includes generating a first rendering result of a web page with scripting turned on and generating a second rendering result of the web page with scripting turned off. The method also includes comparing the first rendering result with the second rendering result to determine whether the web page is content neutral and storing a URL for the web page in a list of content neutral URLs when the web page is content neutral. The method can further include receiving a request to render a web page identified by a URL, prior to rendering, determining that the URL is a content neutral URL, and rendering the web page with scripting turned off responsive to determining that the URL is a content neutral URL.
