TweakedHosting now uses web server proxy in addition to the main web server.
The web server proxy handles all static content and passes dynamic content to the main web server. The main plus for this is a dramatic speed improvement for the loading of website pages. Most dynamic web pages have tons of static content like images, video, txt scripting like js, css and so on so these pages can benefit as well. The web proxy is literally capable of handling thousands more connections at a time, much faster, using less RAM and processing than the main web server to do so. This will also help protect against DDOS attacks because the proxy web server will handle far more connections at a time and only allow real requests to be processed.
Tweaked Hosting already has fast servers and clients sites now fly even more. Soon we will be adding a 3rd web server level to our shared hosting servers using RAM cashing to speed things up even more up 70% speed improvements over the main web server alone. The RAM web cashing with accelerate static content and dynamic content while the proxy web server compresses the content and handles the connections.
