Why each option
WebAccelerator improves web performance and reduces bandwidth costs through content analysis, caching, and compression, including for SSL-secured sites.
WebAccelerator is an application delivery and performance optimization module, not a security layer; functions like WAF, DDoS protection, and access control belong to ASM or APM.
WebAccelerator can accelerate HTTPS sites by offloading SSL processing and applying caching and optimization techniques to the decrypted content before re-encrypting it, improving end-user response times for secure sites.
By caching frequently requested objects and compressing HTTP responses, WebAccelerator reduces the volume of data transmitted over WAN links, directly lowering bandwidth consumption and deferring the need to purchase additional bandwidth.
WebAccelerator inspects HTTP responses to classify and cache static and dynamic web content, and applies compression algorithms such as gzip to reduce payload size for supported content types.
WebAccelerator is optimized for small, frequently repeated HTTP objects such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images; large binary file transfers benefit more from WAN optimization or dedicated file transfer solutions.
