WATERTOWN, Mass.--April 10, 2001--wwWhoosh Inc., a company committed to developing industry-leading internet solutions for content acceleration, today announced the release of WebFlight 2.1. Deployed via the free wwWhoosh Accelerator download by the internet surfer, the WebFlight solution improves browser performance as much as 50% on first page views, with 2x to 3x page load performance improvements on regularly viewed pages.
"The revolutionary aspect of wwWhoosh is that users get wwWhooshed pages faster, regardless of their connection speed. In testing, wwWhoosh is the only freely available solution to actually provide acceleration for all connection speeds," says Bill Santo, CEO of wwWhoosh Inc. "WebFlight is the only true end-to-end acceleration solution available, and this update greatly enhances web speed at the true edge of the network- the end user."
The WebFlight solution is a client-server application consisting of a free, lightweight player (the wwWhoosh Accelerator) that integrates seamlessly with the users` browser, and a server-based application that works with origin servers. Web users see major improvements in their browsing experience, while content providers and web hosters see significant cost savings driven by reducing server workload and bandwidth requirements.
Several additional features were added for version 2.1. Working over a wider variety of objects in a site, WebFlight greatly improves the overall user experience. Detailed user reporting is now available for every wwWhoosh customer. Reports include user statistics, download times, and bandwidth savings, enabling customers to see the compelling benefits of the WebFlight solution. Additionally, WebFlight content providers can distribute customized site "skins" that incorporate their logo onto the wwWhoosh Accelerator residing on the site users` computer.
