Dynamic site acceleration
Dynamic Site Acceleration (DSA) is a group of technologies which make the delivery of dynamic websites more efficient. Manufacturers of application delivery controllers and content delivery networks (CDNs) use a host of techniques to accelerate dynamic sites, including: Improved connection management, by multiplexing client connections and HTTP keep-alive Prefetching of uncachable web responses Dynamic cache control On-the-fly compression Full page caching Off-loading SSL termination Response based TTL-assignment (bending) TCP optimization Route optimization == Techniques == === TCP multiplexing === An edge device, either an ADC or a CDN, is capable of TCP multiplexing which can be placed between web servers and clients to offload origin servers and accelerate content delivery.
