A couple of new products should help take the wait out of the World Wide Web.
Datalytics plans to announce next month at Internet World in New York a Web acceleration software package called BlazeWeb Performance Pack. BlazeWeb uses an acceleration scheme called xSpeed, which has four main components that combine to improve Web performance by an average factor of five, said Jeff Maier, Datalytics president.
Standard compression technology that resides on the browser and server compresses only Web page files to benefit performance by reducing overhead.
Intelligent caching on the browser learns the pages a user accesses most and keeps them handy.
A feature that anticipates links a user could follow on a given Web page begins pre-loading those pages before the user clicks on the links. Page-streaming HTTP loads an entire Web page all in one shot rather than in intermittent connections. Datalytics plans to provide xSpeed server software for free to Netscape, Microsoft, and others to include in their Internet server software, said Maier.
In the meantime, Webmasters can download the server software for free beginning Dec. 16 for the Windows NT platform, and Jan. 15 for other platforms, from the Datalytics Web site at http:/www.datalytics.com/.
The client software will be part of the BlazeWeb Performance Pack, which will include Web searching and organizing software. It will run with Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x and Netscape Navigator 2.x and 3.x for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 platforms.
If December is too long to wait, impatient surfers can try NetJet acceleration software from Peak Technologies. NetJet, which uses intelligent caching and pre-loading to improve Web performance, is now available in final form.
