Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying a set of resources in response to crawling multiple webpages that use at least one resource in the set. For each resource in the set, a system determines an age of the resource using a timestamp for the resource. The system determines a pre-fetch measure of the resource based on the age of the resource and usage information that describes use of the resource at a webpage. The system selects a first resource from the set based on the pre-fetch measure and determines whether a respective age of the selected first resource exceeds a threshold age. The system generates an index entry for a pre-fetch index. The index entry includes a command to pre-fetch the first resource based on a determination that the respective age of the first resource exceeds the threshold age.
