Solution Overview

Problem

Existing web page customization systems lack guidance on best practices, leading to potential performance issues due to excessive or improperly designed web page components, which website administrators may not recognize until runtime.

Innovation Solution

A web page customization system that provides real-time user guidance through an analyzer applying customization rules, offering recommendations on optimal component placement, removal, and quantity, presented via a graphical user interface or reports, to optimize web page performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If website administrators add more web page components to provide comprehensive functionality, then the functionality and versatility of the web page is improved, but the performance and loading speed of the web page deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweb page functionalityVSAvoidweb page loading speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements real-time feedback by monitoring web page customization actions and immediately analyzing their potential performance impact. The analyzer engine continuously evaluates component additions, modifications, and deletions against best practice rules, providing instantaneous guidance to administrators about which customizations may harm performance and which are optimal, enabling informed decisions that balance functionality with performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of web page customizations before they are fully implemented. The analyzer engine evaluates customization rules and provides recommendations in advance, allowing administrators to adjust their design decisions before finalizing the web page configuration, thereby preventing performance issues from occurring in the first place.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If website administrators are provided with detailed guidance and analysis tools for web page customization, then the web page performance is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweb page performanceVSAvoidcustomization system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex customization analysis into distinct, manageable components: a rule engine that evaluates individual customization rules, an analyzer engine that processes specific web page elements, and a feedback mechanism that delivers targeted recommendations. This modular architecture allows each component to specialize in specific aspects of performance optimization without requiring the entire system to become increasingly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by providing automated analysis and guidance that empowers website administrators to make informed customization decisions independently. The analyzer automatically monitors customizations, evaluates them against best practices, and delivers actionable recommendations without requiring external expert intervention, thereby managing complexity through automation rather than increasing procedural burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If real-time analysis and feedback mechanisms are implemented during web page customization, then performance issues are prevented, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance issue preventionVSAvoidcustomization processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial analysis by focusing computational resources on the specific web page elements that have been modified or are currently being customized. Rather than re-analyzing the entire web page configuration with every change, the analyzer engine targets only the affected components and their direct dependencies, providing real-time feedback with minimal processing overhead while still effectively preventing performance issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing guidance in relation to the customization of web pages. An indication of user input in relation to a modification to a portion of a web page is processed, where the modification includes deletion of a user interface object from the web page, addition of a user interface object to the web page, or a change to a user interface object of the web page, and where the user interface object represents a data object field or web page component. At least the portion of the web page is analyzed using a plurality of web page customization rules. Feedback pertaining to customization of one or more web pages including the web page is provided for presentation by a client device, via a graphical user interface (GUI), based at least in part on a result of analyzing the portion of the web page using the web page customization rules.
