Web Accelerators

Determine what precisely web accelerators are and the way it is possible to make the most of them to boost your site’s overall performance.

A web accelerator is a software that quickens an Internet site, normally by caching its content. There are various types of accelerators, but in the common case such apps cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the web server, thus increasing the performance of a site significantly. The latter is possible because accelerator apps work faster than a web server and not only will a site function better, but the server load shall also lessen, which will allow you to run heavy websites with less resources. We provide three web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will permit you to speed up any type of Internet site. In comparison, most web hosting firms do not offer any web accelerators or offer only 1, which limits your choice of web applications in the event that you'd like to use such software.

In case this webpage is opened again by the very same visitor, it will be provided by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the hosting server.
