How Propel Accelerator Works

Propel accelerates web delivery via dial-up using the following techniques:

• Patent pending compression
  
  Propel Accelerator delivers text and graphics more efficiently by using a variety of proprietary compression technologies that significantly reduce the size of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser. Compression is the main mechanism for accelerating first time page visits.

  Propel can compress web graphics without any loss in quality. In addition, Propel also allows the user to adjust graphics compression levels higher (creating some image degradation) in order to get even faster speeds.

  If you use Internet Explorer or a related browser, you can quickly refresh a graphic image or an entire page to full quality by right clicking on the image or the background of the page and using one of the Refresh With Full Quality commands.

• Intelligent caching
  

  While web browsers do some level of caching, they can only cache content on an object basis, and often reload content needlessly due to unsophisticated cache control capabilities.

  In contrast, Propel can reuse fragments of objects. Leveraging its patent-pending caching techniques, Propel reloads content only when it has changed. This results in dramatic acceleration for browsing the web over low-speed Internet connections since far less content is being transmitted.

• Optimized TCP/IP connections
  

  During a typical web browsing session, hundreds of TCP/IP connections and DNS lookups are necessary to retrieve web pages. Propel Accelerator makes this time wasting activity more efficient by carefully managing and optimizing the communication between your computer and our network of servers.

  Propel Accelerator needs only to establish one TCP/IP connection at the start of the browsing session and DNS lookups are shifted to the Propel Acceleration Servers where they can be carried out with low latency over high-bandwidth connections.

• Optional content filtering
  
  
  
  • Pop-up and Pop-under windows: Block these annoying windows that clutter the screen and slow down surfing. You'll hear a noise and/or see an icon each time a pop-up/under has been blocked. It's easy to see a pop-up that was blocked, to allow some pop-ups to always be shown and to turn the feature on and off.
    
    
  • In-page advertisements: Block most advertisements that appear on web pages. When an ad is blocked, it is replaced with a light gray box on the web page, to make sure that web pages maintain their intended design. You can easily view blocked ads by right clicking on the gray box. As with pop-up blocking, you can turn this feature on and off any time you like

  

For the end user, this means:

• An average of 2x acceleration on first time page visits
  
• An average of 3-5x acceleration (and in some cases, much faster)
  on subsequent page visits
  
• Unwanted content is blocked
