Web Accelerators

What exactly do web accelerators do? What can you do to be able to improve your Internet site's load speed?

A web accelerator is a software which speeds up an Internet site, typically by caching its content. There are various sorts of accelerators, but in the general case this kind of apps cache static content or database responses and supply them in lieu of the hosting server, therefore boosting the performance of a website noticeably. The latter is achievable because accelerator programs work faster than a web server and not simply will a site function better, but the server load shall also decrease, which will allow you to run heavy sites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting packages, which will permit you to accelerate any sort of Internet site. In comparison, most hosting companies do not offer any web accelerators or offer one, which limits your choice of web applications in case you want to use this type of software.

Web Accelerators in Website Hosting

In case you host your websites inside a website hosting account from us, you'll have 3 popular web accelerators to pick from if you'd like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can reduce the load of such websites considerably. Varnish caches whole webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that much more quickly than the hosting server, so it could increase the loading speed of any site nearly 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications which functions on the web server and not inside the visitor's world-wide web browser. It is employed for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other apps where plenty of data needs to be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends upon the hosting package which you pick - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you'll be able to include more instances or more memory for each of them.
