How Does the Netfury Internet Accelerator Work?
Netfury Internet Accelerator is designed to provide maximum acceleration for all Web sites and additional acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly. So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load! Specifically, Netfury Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages the following ways:
- Compression: Netfury Internet Accelerator introduces new compression techniques which take acceleration to new levels and provides better performance than competing solutions. This result is a faster page load time and a much improved Internet browsing experience.
- Connection Optimization: Netfury Accelerator optimises the communication between your Internet connection and our network of servers. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.
- Caching: Netfury intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your computer
- Content Filtering: Netfury Accelerator lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up adverts and in-page ads. By blocking these adverts Web pages will load faster.
- Dynamic Imaging: Netfury Accelerator delivers fully usable Web pages to end users in significantly less time, without requiring users to settle for tradeoffs between image quality and page load speeds. With Dynamic Imaging, pages initially appear with lower quality preview images, allowing users to navigate through pages as quickly as possible. Image quality then improves automatically and dynamically in the background whenever a user pauses to view the contents of a page. Netfury's image-compression technology allows both preview and incremental image data to be downloaded in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of network overhead.
These techniques produce several results, primarily: faster page load times, bandwidth reduction and reduced impact of traffic congestion from busy hot spots and Internet cafe connections.
