Website Speed Booster

The Website Speed Booster is a feature unique to Global Internet, and is available ONLY with the Linux Web Hosting Package. This tool automatically enhances the speed of your website by up to 20 times and more!

How does it work?

The Website Speed Booster works by compressing the content delivered to the client when it is sent across the Internet, making use of the browser's ability to uncompress this data seamlessly. The tool does not require any changes in website code, nor does it require any additional software on the user's end. All browsers starting from Internet Explorer 4.0, Netscape 4.06, Opera 5, Lynx 2.6 support this feature. Besides, this solution will simply not compress the data if the visitor has a non-compliant browser, so it presents no risk to your website at all. 

Using this tool from your Control Panel, you can boost the speed of all of the following:

  • All static pages i.e. html, js, css files etc
  • All dynamic pages i.e. php, perl, cgi, python files etc
  • All images and downloadable files, such as .gif, .jpg, .png, .doc, .pdf, .xls and so on.

3. Click on Manage Web Hosting Service in the lower toolbar.

4. In the Website Management interface pop-up that follows, go to Manage Website -> Web Server Manager -> Website Speed Booster.

5. On this page, select Yes from the drop-down adjacent to the type of content you wish to optimize. You can choose to boost

  • Static Content

  • Images and other downloadable articles

    For disabling the feature, you need to select No from the drop-down.

IMPORTANT
