Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: obtaining a first link from data defining a first web page of a first web site; identifying a web page to which the first link refers; obtaining, by a processor, a classification of the first link based on the identified web page to which the first link refers; selecting, based on the classification of the first link, a synchronization flag value that specifies when a representation of a selection of the first link is to be communicated, the synchronization flag value indicating: if the classification comprises classifying the first link as a link to a web page of a different web site, the representation of the selection of the first link is to be synchronously communicated without waiting a predetermined period of time after the representation of the selection of the first link has been stored in local storage and if the classification comprises classifying the first link as an intra-page link or link from the first web page to a different web page within the first web site, the representation of the selection of the first link is to be asynchronously communicated by waiting a predetermined period of time after the representation of the selection of the link has been stored in local storage; and decorating the first link using the selected synchronization flag value.
