Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of webpage games, in particular to a webpage game loading method and device. Background technique [0002] Web games refer to games that run in a browser. Different from ordinary client games, they can be opened and run directly in a browser without special download and installation. [0003] At present, the vast majority of web games are based on Rich Internet Application (RIA) technology (such as providing richer graphics, images, sounds and other content performance through third-party plug-ins such as flash and javascript, so that they can provide content that is superior to ordinary HTML in web pages. Page experience) rich client is embedded in the webpage, when a user opens the webpage, the browser will download the relevant RIA program file to the local, and start running in the browser. [0004] When the web game starts running, the browser and the game server begin to exchange specific game content...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, although using the browser cache can improve the loading speed of web games after the first loading to a certain extent, due to the expiration and invalidation strategies of the browser cache, it is completely dependent on the browser cache to save the RIA file of the game. , easily affected by the browser's cache invalidation policy, causing previously downloaded RIA file cache invalidation

However, the current browser caching strategy is only controlled by the browser, and the game itself cannot control the cache. If the user actively clears the cache, or the browser automatically clears the cache due to insufficient space, the downloaded files will be deleted, making When the user visits the game page next time, it needs to be downloaded again to reduce the loading speed

[0008] In addition, because the RIA program files of web games are downloaded by entrusting the browser, and the download performance of the browser is limited, and it does not have the ability to optimize the download. Generally, it can only download files from two to three different domain names at the same time at most. Even if the web game server can provide more download sources and distribute different RIA program files to more domain names, the browser cannot make full use of them, resulting in poor download performance of the RIA program files of the existing web game, affecting the game The speed of loading the first time, and the speed of downloading the file again after the cache invalidation
