Web Acceleration Solutions
Improve web application performance and reduce costs in the data center
Web acceleration can help you dramatically improve web page response times by compressing traffic and reducing server loads. This type of acceleration often lowers costs in the data center and provides better web application performance and a better user experience--on any network, using any combination of devices.
F5's web acceleration technology is designed to overcome WAN latency and performance issues with browsers and web application platforms. Our solutions decrease download times, offload servers, reduce bandwidth usage, and improve user productivity and satisfaction.
Why do I need web acceleration?
Business benefits of using F5 for web acceleration include:
- Asymmetrically accelerates web applications for remote and mobile users by up to 5x
- Increases application performance by up to 10x in a symmetric deployment
- Significantly reduces bandwidth usage by reducing the amount of data sent
- Improves server capacity by offloading repetitive content
- Enables browsers to open more simultaneous connections between the browser and web application for increased parallel data transfers
