Abstract
In the embodiments, a novel prefetch service implemented on a prefetch server is provided to execute content (either targeted or selected) fetch requests in parallel with other requests thereby reducing the overall latency of a content delivery system. In some aspects, a method is provided to receive a prefetch request to prefetch a targeted content item to be presented prior to presenting a primary content item on a user device, the prefetch request including prefetch request parameters; generate, a callback URL associated with the prefetch request; transmit, to a primary content server, the callback URL; obtain a targeted content configuration corresponding to the prefetch request parameters; obtain the targeted content item based on the targeted content configuration; receive, a request to provide the targeted content item, the request including the callback URL; and transmit the targeted content item.
