| Caching is the basic tool that enables service providers to give faster than normal downloads while lowering their own bandwidth costs. A copy of pages once downloaded is stored in the cache. Repeat requests for a page once downloaded are served from the cache itself, reducing traffic to and from the site. |

 |

24online offers transparent caching of all HTTP downloads to service providers, enabling them to control costs and provide faster service. Each HTTP download is stored in the 24online cache for future delivery, increasing content delivery speeds. |

Traditional downloads involve sequential downloading so that a page opens section after section, even with availability of sufficient bandwidth, limiting the speed of downloads. 24online's object pipelining speeds up the process by sending simultaneous requests for different elements on the page so that multiple objects are downloaded at the same time. |

|

Dynamic caching is a step above basic caching and caches dynamic web pages - pages that are created between the request for the page and the response back to the browser. 24online's dynamic caching ensures freshness of objects in the cache and speedy downloads by storing subsets of the required data. Typically, this involves storing frequently accessed data subject to modification. This ensures quick access without time consuming requests and responses. |

With most users limiting themselves to a set of sites that they browse constantly, resolving their domain names with the IP addresses for every request results in loss of time and needless bandwidth usage. With 24online's large DNS (Domain Name Service) cache, latencies involved in contacting a DNS server to resolve an address are reduced, boosting overall web cache performance. |

24online also provides reports of sites visited by subscribers. These reports can be stored and retrieved later in case of mandatory requests by law. |

Faster downloads and web browsing are ensured with caching. This is especially evident with high bandwidth applications. |
| |
|
 |
| |
Load on bandwidth is reduced, freeing up bandwidth for other subscribers. |
| |
|
 |
| |
With lowered bandwidth usage, service providers get enormous savings in costs related to bandwidth purchase. |

24online's reports enable tracking of download patterns, giving service providers the information to design their content and offerings. |
