Abstract
A proxy server receives a request for a web page from a client device. In response to determining that a portion of the web page is available in cache, the proxy server retrieves that portion and transmits it to the client device. The portion of the web page is not the entire web page and is a prediction of the portion of the page that will remain static if the page is reloaded or requested by a different client device. The proxy server transmits a request to an origin server for the full web page. In response to receiving the full web page from the origin server, the proxy server modifies the full web page to remove the portion that was already transmitted to the client device, and transmits the modified web page to the client device.
