    I just came across this:

    http://webaccelerator.google.com/

    (Don't you just love sleepless nights and you are bored out of your mind and find interesting things)

    Anyone use this?

    Nope, sounds like some caching stuff going on there.

    Yup it does cache. For the most part it does a good job, but I did notice some images on sites disappear (especially avatar images).

    Good find David26... something to play for and if it does speed up loading of my pages, then wonderful.

    Thanks

    I've used it before and I dont think it made much difference. That was a while ago. Ill try again now.

    Yeah same here. Most of the content that does load slow is dynamic anyway and not cached which is what causes the extra delay so it is pretty useless. Plus for some reason it isn't saving my sessions or cookies when logging in to certain sites and phpBB forums.

    Well it will be good for sites that dont update often. i spend most of my time on forums like this. Anyways, generally it will be good. I will give it a try. It is kind of strange that it is design for broadband. Broadband by nature is fast. Just thinking.
