We all experience the importance of website performance every day. Why is it that some pages load in the blink of an eye, while others sit there so long you just close the window? There are several main reasons for this, but it all comes down to one thing. It’s a proven fact that people won’t wait for a slow website, they’ll simply move on to the next guy. You are not helpless to this however; using a Website Accelerator will automatically streamline your webpage’s to load up to 75% faster. This will ensure your pages load as quick as possible for your visitor.
Within minutes of installing the Website Accelerator you’ll be enjoying all the benefits an optimized web page brings you. It doesn’t matter which platform you choose to host your website, the Website Accelerator comes with full support for the Apache web server and Microsoft IIS based sites using SharePoint 2007 or ASP.NET. The software comes preconfigured with settings that will fine tune your chosen web server to ensure the absolute highest performance. Using an optimization program such as the Website Accelerator will not only increase your visitors page load speed up to 75%, but the data optimizations can save you up to 50% on your bandwidth costs.
The Website Accelerator achieves this by reducing the amount of http requests made to the web server when requesting a page. By intercepting the rendered webpage data, the software makes optimizations before sending it to the browser. One way the Website Accelerator achieves this is by taking individual page elements and combining them together. What commonly is multiple scripts and style sheets spread across several files are combined into one. In addition an advance image optimization technique known as CSS sprite sheets are created from multiple images on the page.
The further use of Gzip compression technology reduces bandwidth and space requirements. The best part is all of this increased website performance can be achieved without changing any of your existing web site code.
The Website Accelerator also includes a full featured and robust caching system that automatically stores copies of optimized web pages for serving. When a change is detected in your web page the Website Accelerator re-optimizes the page. This keeps the Website Accelerator from optimizing the same page hundreds or thousands of times to get the same result. the Website Accelerator even has built-in support for the full range of web browsers available on the Internet today. Not all browsers, especially older ones, can handle the aggressive optimization the Website Accelerator achieves. Fortunately the software gracefully handles these situations with no extra effort.
These are just a few of the main ways the Website Accelerator can increase website performance across the board. You’ve worked hard on your website and want to make sure the rest of the world can enjoy it. Even if you don’t have any technical experience at all, installing the Website Accelerator is the easiest way to take advantage of all these features in just a matter of minutes.
