A web accelerator is a server-side application that accelerates a website. Such a piece of software could function in different ways depending on the website content, but in the general situation all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. This is valid for both static and dynamic sites as the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the benefit of using a web accelerator is not just the faster loading site, but also the decreased overall load on the hosting server. This way, you may employ a lower-end hosting plan which will also cost less while your site visitors will be able to still enjoy fast browsing speeds. Few companies supply web accelerators with their hosting deals and they frequently offer just one, while we offer 3 different ones that will enable you to boost the performance of any type of Internet site significantly.

Web Accelerators in Website Hosting

When you acquire one of our website hosting packages, you'll have three widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you'll be able to access them directly using the Hepsia CP that comes with our plans. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it could greatly speed up any Internet site as it caches the pages that a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them each and every time that website visitor opens them again. Because Varnish functions way quicker than any hosting server, the loading speed of any website using the accelerator will increase considerably. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a website visitor and a web server, so it is much like Varnish, but is used largely for database-driven sites. Considering that the site will connect to its database a lot less, the overall server load will be minimized substantially. The third accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online applications including chats and booking sites because it processes info in real time the moment it is entered on the website by the users. Based on the package you select, these accelerators might be available or could be an optional upgrade.
