Web Accelerators
Learn what exactly web accelerators are and just how you can benefit from them to boost your website’s efficiency.
A web accelerator is a server-side application that accelerates an Internet site. Such a piece of software could work in different ways depending upon the site content, but in the typical case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That is valid for both static and dynamic sites since the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the benefit of using a web accelerator is not just the faster loading Internet site, but also the smaller overall load on the server. This way, you'll be able to employ a lower-end hosting solution that'll also cost less while your visitors will be able to still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of businesses supply web accelerators with their hosting plans and they usually offer just one, while we offer three different ones that'll enable you to improve the performance of any sort of Internet site considerably.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Hosting
When you host your sites inside a
cloud hosting account from our company, you shall have three popular web accelerators to select from if you'd like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven Internet sites and it caches the calls and requests between an Internet site and its database, so it could decrease the load of such websites considerably. Varnish caches entire pages the first time a 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 server, so it can easily raise the loading speed of any site up to 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications that works on the server and not within the visitor's world-wide web browser. It is employed for accommodation booking, chats and other applications where loads of data should be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting package that you pick - they could come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you'll be able to add more instances or more memory for each one of them.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting
In the event that you buy a
dedicated server from us and you opt for Hepsia as the hosting CP, you will be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All solutions come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package that you select. Node.js is employed for scalable online programs like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info in real time as the user 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 website, not simply will the site work faster, but also the load on the hosting server will decrease because there shall be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole web pages once a guest opens them and provides them instead of the hosting server whenever the same visitor opens them afterwards. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests much faster than any server, the performance of a site using this accelerator can increase nearly 300%.
