Web Accelerator

A web accelerator is a proxy server that reduces web site access times. They can be a self-contained hardware appliance or installable software.

Web accelerators may be installed on the client (browsing) computer / mobile device, on ISP servers, on the server computer/network, or a combination. Accelerating delivery through compression requires some type of host based server to collect, compress and then deliver content to a client computer.

    “If our web be framed with rotten handles, when our loom is well nigh done, our work is new to begin. God send the weaver true prentices again, and let them be denizens.”
