Web accelerator
A web accelerator is a proxy server that reduces web site access times. Web accelerators may use several techniques to achieve this reduction:
- They may cache recently or frequently accessed documents so they may be sent to the client with less latency or at a faster transfer rate than the remote server could.
- They may compress documents to a smaller size, for example by reducing the quality of images.
- They may filter out unnecessary documents so they are not sent to the client at all.
