Google Web Accelerator

Viper007Bond · May 5th, 2005, 11:57 AM

[edit] Don't use it with the forum. It seems to screw up sessions and therefore the new posts. I still recommend using this program, but just add forum.finalgear.com to the list of sites to not accelerate. images/smilies/smile.gif

[/edit]

Check it out!

http://webaccelerator.google.com/

http://webaccelerator.google.com/images/ff_done_image.gif

The Google servers cache slow sites and such and sends it to you faster. It also seems to check to see if the page has changed via Google's servers and if not, displays a locally cached file. This makes for UBER fast page views on unchanged pages as it doesn't actually have to download any HTML to see if the page has changed.

Works with both IE and Firefox. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Viper007Bond · May 5th, 2005, 12:39 PM

You sure?

Fine, go here and click on Web Accelerator at the top: http://labs.google.com/

No the link is good, and the program is too! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Thanks alot.

Lol with every click on this site it jumps with 5 or 6 seconds images/smilies/lol.gif

That's so weird - the first time it took me to google toolbar, then when Josty said it doesn't, I tried again and it worked images/smilies/wacko.gif

- anyway, great link, thanks. images/smilies/smile.gif

I had to add this forum to the list of sites to not accelerate though. It would screw up my admin stuff when moving threads and such since it uses PHP sessions via the URL for that for security. images/smilies/sad.gif

jeffy777 · May 5th, 2005, 03:14 PM

Nah - This way I can look at the site without having to read through everything or else lose all the new posts

Google is really getting into software nowadays.

What's next? A Google OS?

Ehhh, this thing is starting to have security concerns. Don't use it on any security sensitive sites and stuff.

It is. At first i thought it was the something else, but since the new posts feature works fine after I uninstalled it, it had to be the webaccelerator.
