Cache Files the Right Way:
Faster Sites & Better Server Availability

Powerful Cache Control Management for IIS servers

divider

Dramatically reduce page load time & increase visitor retention

Caching indisputably saves bandwidth and server resources because it reduces network traffic. This is why shared (proxy) caches exist on the Internet and corporate intranets. Infrastructure providers and corporate IT departments make extensive investments in caching technology because the savings are too great to pass up.

Eliminate unnecessary requests
& bandwidth consumption

Improved site performance is simply the other side of this coin; caching reduces network latency. It does this by serving content from a cache located much closer to them than the Web server housing the original web site, thus eliminating excessive conditional GET requests and 304 responses.

Save time deploying
& delegating cache control

Given normal Web browsing conditions, a cached object will always load faster than an uncached one. Our testing shows that an uncached image can take 0.5 seconds to be verified by an origin server - multiply this lag by the number of images on a page, and your users could be waiting a very long time indeed.
