Abstract
Methods and apparatus for processing scripting-language code in webpages are disclosed. The method includes obtaining scripting-language code that is utilized by a higher-priority webpage, compiling the scripting-language code to generate higher-priority compiled code objects, storing the higher-priority compiled code objects on a communication device, distinguishing the higher-priority compiled code objects from other compiled code objects that are stored on the communication device to delay the higher-priority compiled code objects from being removed from the communication device, and executing the higher-priority compiled code objects when the webpage is requested by the user. In many variations, this approach is not applied to all webpages visited, but only on certain webpages and scripts that are considered high priority, either implicitly or explicitly, based on a priority function that computes a multi-level priority from the history and past browser activity.
