  • displaying an online publication to a user using the output device;

    identifying a break point associated with the online publication;

    determining an estimated display duration of a subset of a first content item that the user will likely watch based on a viewing history of the user;

    determining a pre-fetch point prior to the break point based on the estimated display duration; and

    initiating transmission of the subset of the first content item into the memory at the pre-fetch point.
