How will it speed up the connection, i mean if a page is placed behind a web accelerator, will it effect its upload speed to the client, who will make a get request. If it will , than how. As since the client would get the same page if it request is directly handled by the webserver.
Depends on the speed of your web server and connectivity.
If your web server is sufficiently fast to cope with the load and well connected then a accelerator won't buy you much in terms of performance.
But if your webserver is overloaded with lots of dynamic queries or plain slow then an accelerator will help by offloading all the static content. In addition, of your web server is on the company LAN with a slow connection between the DMZ and the web server then the accelerator also helps there.
