What is Web Accelerator’s Site Cache?
| Site Cache is now in limited release. Visit our Help Centre guide for details on how to join. |
Our in-house developed Site Cache offering, a key first release of our Web Accelerator product suite, 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 fetches the page from the origin web server and caches the page for future requests.
By serving cached copies of web pages, images, scripts and other assets instead of retrieving them from the origin server each time, Site 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 Site Cache works
Site Cache is a temporary storage mechanism that helps speed up data retrieval by storing frequently accessed content on a reverse proxy server. When a visitor accesses your website, a copy of the page is stored in The Cache. Subsequent visitors will receive this stored copy, leading to faster load times.
