What is Web Accelerator Cache?

Web Accelerator Cache is a reverse proxy cache service installed in front of your web server and processes incoming requests. If the page being requested is already cached, it delivers the cached content instantly. Otherwise, it generates the page and the cache on demand.

By serving cached copies of web pages, images, scripts and other assets instead of retrieving them from the origin server each time, Web Accelerator Cache reduces load times, decreases bandwidth usage, and minimises server strain. This ultimately enhances speed and efficiency, ensuring a better experience for your end users.

How Caching works

Cache is a temporary storage mechanism that helps speed up data retrieval by storing frequently accessed content closer to the user. When a visitor accesses your website, Web Accelerator Cache stores a copy of the page. Subsequent visitors will receive this stored copy, leading to faster load times.
