An apparatus for two-tier deep analysis of hypertext transport protocol data, monitors Web traffic, receives a packet of Web traffic from a network to form a received packet, wherein the received packet represents Web traffic, and stores the Web traffic temporarily to form stored Web traffic. The apparatus further determines whether the Web traffic is suspicious using a first tier analysis and responsive to a determination that the Web traffic is suspicious, consumes the stored Web traffic using a deep analysis module. The apparatus further determines whether the stored Web traffic is a case of misuse using a second tier analysis and responsive to a determination that the stored Web traffic is a case of misuse, feeding back data about a malicious connection to an intrusion protection system before returning to monitor the Web traffic.

Two-tier deep analysis of HTML traffic

A computer-implemented process for two-tier deep analysis of hypertext transport protocol data, monitors Web traffic, receives a packet of Web traffic from a network to form a received packet, wherein the received packet represents Web traffic, and stores the Web traffic temporarily to form stored Web traffic. The computer-implemented process further determines whether the Web traffic is suspicious using a first tier analysis and responsive to a determination that the Web traffic is suspicious, consumes the stored Web traffic using a deep analysis module. The computer-implemented process further determines whether the stored Web traffic is a case of misuse using a second tier analysis and responsive to a determination that the stored Web traffic is a case of misuse, feeding back data about a malicious connection to an intrusion protection system before returning to monitor the Web traffic.

Front-end optimization (FEO) configuration information is leveraged to identify 'key' resources required to load other pages on a site, and to automatically cause key resources to be prefetched to a server, and to the browser. In this approach, an FEO analyzer uses knowledge of configured optimization templates to determine the key resources required to load pages for each template. The key resources for pages belonging to other optimization templates are then selectively prefetched by other pages. In a preferred approach, the FEO analyzer provides an edge server cache process a list of key resources and instructions to prefetch the key resources, as well as instructions to rewrite the HTML of the page to include instructions for the browser to prefetech the key resources. On the client, key resources are prefetched if missing from a cache on the browser. Key resources preferably are stored in the browser's HTML5 local storage cache.
