Your iPad or any iOS/macOS device logged into an iCloud with Safari sharing in Settings -> iCloud -> Safari will sync history, bookmarks, and logins. Any changes to the bookmarks will trigger the sync, forcing you to wait. Its a pain in the arse to manage bookmarks with this always popping up.

Disable the syncing in your iCloud settings under Safari.

or

I am not sure it can be done for individual bookmarks, I believe it is a system wide setting.
