Re: WC:>: PeakJet 2000? ( want a better solution, use the server-side SiteAcelerator )

Yeah , 

I won a copy from them, so i was using it for a bit.. and all it does is
pre-cache web pages that are linked from the web page that you are on. If
your paying for time only, this is good... if your paying for download
volume.not good [=-). The copy i had was stable, but there is a better
solution for speeding up your web site.. 

If you want to speed up your web sites for your clients, you should be
using a server-side site accelerator like we do. Basically this 7k Java
applet, sits in your web page, and starts to load the most popular pages (
it knows from your logs, which you feed it every now and then ) and when
the visitors click your links, the pages are already in their cache, and
POW, the page is there... happy visitor and because of the quick speed,
you'll find that they stay around longer on your site, and they seem happy
to continue clicking their little hearts out... because they know they
don't have to wait for the pages to load.. 

this is a great brand new solution for all web site designers to use on
their clients sites.. ( geez, this is sounding like a sales spill now! )
