With Propel Accelerator, Web pages load up to 5 times faster. The more you visit specific Web sites, the better the performance you will receive.
Here is an example of tests we ran with and without Propel Accelerator:
| Popular Web Sites | *Before Propel® | *With Propel | How much Faster with Propel? |
| Ebay | 11.65 seconds | 2.97 seconds | 3.92 X faster! |
| USA Today | 32.43 seconds | 3.77 seconds | 8.60 X faster! |
| Mapquest.com | 30.56 seconds | 5.01 seconds | 6.10 X faster! |
| Monster.com | 11.74 seconds | 3.04 seconds | 3.86 X faster! |
| CNN | 11.68 seconds | 2.26 seconds | 5.17 X faster! |
| *Average time calculated based on loading the home page. First time visit to a Web page loads on average 2 times faster. Subsequent visits to the page load, on average, 3 times faster. |
Most Web content will be accelerated, but there are certain exceptions:
| What will be accelerated | What stays the same |
| All text - HTML, markup, and javascript | Secure pages, such as those used for online banking and credit card forms and pages accessed over VPN. Why this is actually a good thing. |
| Most graphics & photos - including jpeg and gif images | Streaming media, and audio and video files |
| Most banner ads - including animated gif images and Macromedia Flash content | Files downloaded outside your browser using ftp |
| All browser-based emails | |
| POP3 and IMAP protocol emails and attachments | |
| MP3 files, executables & other files — when downloaded from within your Web browser (depending on the quality of your connection). |
