Latency minimization in mobile applications

A method for reducing latency in use of mobile applications comprising:

• analyzing, before an application runtime and by a processor, a mobile application to identify potential internet requests from the mobile application;
• creating, before the application runtime and by the processor, a list of the potential internet requests from the mobile application based on the analysis of the mobile application;
• creating, before the application runtime and by the processor, a trigger map that maps each of a plurality of trigger points of the mobile application with a corresponding target internet request to be prefetched from the list of potential internet requests;
• creating, before the application runtime and by the processor, a uniform resource locator (URL) map that maps each of a plurality of the potential internet requests with corresponding URL values;
• replacing, by the processor, the corresponding URL values with an address of a local proxy;
• identifying, at the application runtime and by a mobile processor, that a current app function matches a trigger point of the plurality of trigger points;
• automatically performing, by the mobile processor, the potential internet request in response to identifying that the current app function matches the trigger point prior to the target request being received by the processor in order to reduce latency and storing a response to the potential internet request at the local proxy prior to the target request being received by the mobile processor;
• and
• subsequently querying, by the mobile processor, the address of the local proxy to retrieve the potential internet request in response to the target request being received by the mobile processor.
