Railgun Gives our Ecommerce Sites the Edge

Luxury Link, an ecommerce web property, has been using CloudFlare's Railgun acceleration technology since March 2013. The company saw immediate results with instant reductions in time to retrieve uncached HTML documents and a reduction in outbound bandwidth from their origin web servers. Railgun's delta compression algorithm significantly impacted outbound bandwidth consumption, resulting in dramatic peaks disappearing post-March. By accelerating the delivery of 'uncacheable' HTML pages, visitors experienced better response times and the company saw a big decrease in outbound bandwidth. The technology is especially attractive to cloud-hosted companies and businesses paying for every byte transferred in and out of their applications.
