US Patent 9239862 Web acceleration based on hints derived from crowd sourcing

In an embodiment, a UE determines to load a web page via a mobile browsing application on the UE. The UE obtains, from a web server, web page resource information for loading the web page on the UE. The UE loads the web page using the web page resource information and identifies one or more hints for assisting one or more mobile browsing applications on at least one other UE to perform an initial load of the web page, which the UE then reports to a hints server. The hints server collects hints from the UE as well as other UEs, evaluates their relevance and generates and/or updates a crowd-sourced hints list based on their perceived relevance. The hints server provides the crowd-sourced hints list to a target UE, and the target UE uses the crowd-sourced hints list to load the web page.
