Abstract
An intermediary system operates as an intermediary between content servers and user devices, and provides services for improving page load times as seen by end users. One such service involves converting a retrieved content page (e.g., web page) into a number of encoded layers that can be decoded and rendered by the user device. The intermediary system determines a suitable encoding technique for each of the layers. The intermediary system sends the encoded layers to a browser component running on the user device for rendering by the GPU.
