Web Accelerators

Determine what exactly web accelerators are and exactly how you are able to take advantage of them to supercharge your web site’s performance.

A web accelerator is a server-side application which quickens a site. Such a piece of software can work in different ways based on the website content, but in the general case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the server. This is valid for both static and dynamic Internet sites because the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the advantage of employing a web accelerator isn't only the faster loading site, but also the minimized overall load on the machine. That way, you'll be able to use a lower-end hosting plan that will also cost less while your site visitors can still enjoy fast browsing speeds. Several service providers supply web accelerators with their hosting plans and they usually offer just one, while we offer 3 different ones that will enable you to improve the performance of any kind of Internet site substantially.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

If you order a dedicated server from us and you choose Hepsia as the hosting CP, you shall be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your Internet sites. All plans feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package that you select. Node.js is used for scalable online applications such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information right away as the client enters it, which makes it faster than very similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven Internet site, not only will the website work faster, but also the load on the web server will minimize since there will be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it is not limited to databases. Instead, it caches entire websites once a guest opens them and delivers them instead of the web server whenever the same visitor opens them later. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any hosting server, the efficiency of a website using this accelerator may increase up to 300%.
