A web page prefetching apparatus and method for efficiently prefetching a web page using link class information indicating preference of client devices for links contained in a web page. A client device includes a user input unit receiving a user input signal for a web page request; a controller receiving a first web page provided by a first web server based on a user input signal requesting the first web page, requesting a second web page provided by a second web server from the second web server, which is determined based on link class information indicating the preference of client devices for links contained in the first web page, without a user input signal, and receiving the second web page from the second web server; and a storage unit storing the second web page. Accordingly, since the reliability and efficiency of prefetching can be increased, prefetched web pages can be quickly provided to a user.
