Internet users are impatient. A Zona Research study
found that if your site doesn't load in 8 seconds, up to 1/3 of your
visitors will leave.
Savvy e-Businesses 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.
At Cybersolution.biz™ our customer's enjoy
faster page loading and script execution thanks to caching & compression
technologies we've installed. Our servers run on industry standard content
acceleration software from Zend™, IntenseSpeed™ and HyperSpace
Communications. Together they make CyberSolution™ server's incredibly fast
and efficient.
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 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 Cybersolution.biz 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).
More information about HTTP compression can be found
here.
