Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for updating a webpage rendered with cached content are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving, at a user device, a request to present a webpage; retrieving, from memory local to the user device, a template associated with the webpage and a plurality of content items to be included in the webpage; causing the webpage to be presented on the user device using the retrieved template and the one or more content items; transmitting a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to a server associated with the webpage, wherein the RPC includes an identifier of the webpage; receiving a response to the RPC that includes at least one update to the webpage; and causing the webpage to be updated based on the response to the RPC.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for updating webpage content, the method comprising:
receiving, at a user device, a request to present a webpage; retrieving, from memory local to the user device, a template associated with the webpage and a plurality of content items to be included in the webpage; causing the webpage to be presented on the user device using the retrieved template and the one or more content items; transmitting a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to a server associated with the webpage, wherein the RPC includes an identifier of the webpage; receiving a response to the RPC that includes at least one update to the webpage; and causing the webpage to be updated based on the response to the RPC.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one update to the webpage includes a content item not included in the plurality of content items.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one content item in the plurality of content items is a recommendation to view a media content item.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RPC includes identifiers corresponding to each of the content items in the one or more content items.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting that a content item of the plurality of content items has been interacted with on the user device; and transmitting a second RPC to the server that indicates that the content item of the plurality of content items has been interacted with.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the second RPC includes timing information of the interaction with the content item of the plurality of content items.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the template indicates a location for each content item in the plurality of content items.

8 . A system for updating webpage content, the system comprising:
a memory; and a hardware processor that, when executing computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, is configured to:
receive, at a user device, a request to present a webpage;
retrieve, from memory local to the user device, a template associated with the webpage and a plurality of content items to be included in the webpage;
cause the webpage to be presented on the user device using the retrieved template and the one or more content items;
transmit a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to a server associated with the webpage, wherein the RPC includes an identifier of the webpage;
receive a response to the RPC that includes at least one update to the webpage; and
cause the webpage to be updated based on the response to the RPC.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one update to the webpage includes a content item not included in the plurality of content items.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein at least one content item in the plurality of content items is a recommendation to view a media content item.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the RPC includes identifiers corresponding to each of the content items in the one or more content items.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:
detect that a content item of the plurality of content items has been interacted with on the user device; and transmit a second RPC to the server that indicates that the content item of the plurality of content items has been interacted with.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the second RPC includes timing information of the interaction with the content item of the plurality of content items.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the template indicates a location for each content item in the plurality of content items.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for updating webpage content, the method comprising:
receiving, at a user device, a request to present a webpage; retrieving, from memory local to the user device, a template associated with the webpage and a plurality of content items to be included in the webpage; causing the webpage to be presented on the user device using the retrieved template and the one or more content items; transmitting a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to a server associated with the webpage, wherein the RPC includes an identifier of the webpage; receiving a response to the RPC that includes at least one update to the webpage; and causing the webpage to be updated based on the response to the RPC.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the at least one update to the webpage includes a content item not included in the plurality of content items.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein at least one content item in the plurality of content items is a recommendation to view a media content item.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the RPC includes identifiers corresponding to each of the content items in the one or more content items.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:
detecting that a content item of the plurality of content items has been interacted with on the user device; and transmitting a second RPC to the server that indicates that the content item of the plurality of content items has been interacted with.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the second RPC includes timing information of the interaction with the content item of the plurality of content items.

21 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the template indicates a location for each content item in the plurality of content items.
