Faster is Always Better.
Savvy eBusinesses recognize that simply having a Web presence is no longer
enough to succeed. They need reliable high-performance Web sites that load
quickly. If you have a business on the web you know how important your site
loading speed is. If your pages do not load swiftly then you are losing
money.
What we can do
At Nameway® your web pages and scripts load blazingly fast thanks to our
Speed Loading Engine. Using a combination of industry standard caching &
compression software from Zend®, IntenseSpeed® and HyperSpace Communications,
we're able to maximize the performance of our servers and minimize page
loading times.
Cache
The first technology we use to speed up our server is a method known as
caching. Caching engines are implemented to reduce page loading time and
script execution by performing optimizations and various types of caching,
using advanced techniques that yield much better performance - usually from
two to four times more requests per second. These engines also play an important
part in cutting down latency by as much as 20-fold, by preventing dynamic
pages from doing any repetitive work, and reducing the turnaround time for
each request.
Compression
The second method we use to boost our server performance is SS/Compression using mod_gzip, a compression module which uses the standard zlib compression library to compress output. The idea is to compress data being sent out from the Web server, and have the browser decompress this data on the fly, thus reducing the amount of data sent and increasing the page display speed. Using HTTP compression, a performance gain of 150-160% is achieved across all Nameway® web servers. Using HTTP Compression web pages can be 90% or so smaller and images can be up to 50% or so smaller (depending on how much they are compressed already).
Benefits of Cache & HTTP Compression.
- Improves site loading speed
- Higher transaction rate
- More stability for your hosted site (reduces system and CPU load)
- Run more server side scripts, faster (PHP/CGI)
- Up to 300% performance boost on script executions
- 150%-160% performance gain on static/dynamic content
- Bandwidth is conserved
