A web accelerator is a server-side application that speeds up a website. Such a piece of software can operate in different ways based on the website content, but in the general case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That's valid for both static and dynamic websites since the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the reward of employing a web accelerator is not only the faster loading site, but also the lessened overall load on the server. That way, you could employ a lower-end hosting solution that will also cost less while your website visitors could still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of service providers supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they usually offer only one, while we offer 3 different ones which will allow you to improve the performance of any sort of website substantially.
Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting solutions include 3 web accelerators which you could use depending on the websites which you'd like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which could considerably improve the performance of dynamic websites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator which caches web pages and delivers them to the visitors way quicker than the server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform employed for scalable real-time apps for example booking websites. Depending upon the hosting solution you pick, these three applications might already be included or could be optional upgrades. Regardless, you will be able to select how many instances of every one of them shall be at your disposal and how much memory they ought to use. These accelerators are offered only by a few web hosting firms, including ours, and they could increase the speed of your web applications considerably.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are offered with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and depending on the plan that you select, you shall also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will minimize the web server load by lowering the amount of queries that have to be taken care of as it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on any website which uses an API or a database - as an example, any website designed with WordPress or Joomla. Varnish could boost the performance of any type of site by caching whole webpages the first time a guest opens them. The accelerator delivers the pages if the same visitor opens them later on and since it does that considerably faster than the server, the visitor will be able to surf your site at least a couple of times faster. That is why Varnish is sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform that'll enable you to build booking sites, web chats and other apps in which real-time server-user interaction is required. It processes the data in small portions as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one substantial chunk of information, which makes Node.js considerably faster than similar applications.
