Systems and methods for latency reduction in content item interactions using client-generated click identifiers

Systems and methods of reducing latency in online network traffic are provided. The system can include a processor and a memory couple to the processor. The memory stores computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to identify an indication of an interaction with a content item presented within a content slot of an information resource, generate a click identifier that uniquely identifies the interaction, transmit a first request comprising a click resource link including the click identifier to a click server, and transmit a second request to access the landing page of the content item independent of transmitting the first request. The second request comprises a generated resource link that identifies a resource identifier of the landing page of the content item and the click identifier.
