Web Accelerators
What precisely do web accelerators do? What can you do to increase your site's loading speed?
A web accelerator is a server-side program which quickens a site. Such a piece of software could operate in different ways depending on the website content, but in the typical case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That is valid for both dynamic and static sites because the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the benefit of employing a web accelerator is not just the faster loading site, but also the lessened overall load on the hosting server. That way, you may use a lower-end hosting package that'll also cost less while your visitors can still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of companies offer web accelerators with their hosting deals and they typically offer only 1, while we offer three different ones that will permit you to improve the performance of any type of site substantially.

Web Accelerators in Website Hosting
We provide 3 of the most well-known web accelerators together with our
website hosting packages and based upon what plan you'll choose when you sign up, they could already be available or they could be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most well-known one of them and it could be used for any kind of Internet site. It caches the pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them at a much faster speed compared to the web server each time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can increase the speed of dynamic websites such as online stores, forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web applications and it operates in real-time, which makes it excellent for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, etcetera. You'll be able to pick the amount of memory these accelerators shall use and how many instances of each and every one shall run from your Hepsia Internet hosting Control Panel.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted within your
semi-dedicated server account based on the nature of the site content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, so it is a superb option for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla
™. This way, the database hosting server shall not need to process exactly the same request if multiple users open a website with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any sort of content the first time a guest opens an Internet site. If this webpage is opened again by the very same visitor, it will be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the server. Using this web accelerator can minimize the load created by your websites tremendously. Last, but not least, Node.js will allow you to build scalable web programs like hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a substantial piece of data, but processes whatever the customer is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are offered by default with all of our
dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the Internet hosting Control Panel. These three web accelerators come with several gbs of dedicated memory and you could employ them to speed up any type of site. Memcached can drastically minimize the load on the web server if you have script-driven Internet sites as it caches database responses, thus it minimizes the amount of database queries which the hosting server has to tackle. Node.js will enable you to develop scalable programs with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking sites. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it processes info the instant the end user enters it, so all the info is taken care of faster and in small bits. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them each time the same website visitor opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any type of websites. As it functions faster than any web server, it can speed up a website at least several times and as a result, Varnish is amongst the most popular web accelerators around.
