Patent ID: 8285781

Claim:
A method, performed by a server device, the method comprising: obtaining, by one or more processors of the server device, a document requested by a browser program; analyzing, by at least one of the one or more processors of the server device, the document to generate a list of domain names associated with links in the document that are selectable by a user of the browser program; embedding, by at least one of the one or more processors of the server device, the list of domain names in the document in a manner that causes the browser program to perform domain name system (DNS) lookups for the domain names in the list before the browser program receives a selection of any of the links in the document, where the embedding includes adding information to the document that is associated with the list of domain names, where embedding the list of domain names in the document includes: embedding the list of domain names in a manner that is not visibly noticeable in a displayed version of the document, and ordering the domain names in the list based on a likelihood of selection of links associated with the domain names; and transmitting, by at least one of the one or more processors of the server device, the document, including the embedded list of domain names, to the browser program.
