Key Features

Dynamic Caching: According to the vendor, Speed Kit enables dynamic caching, allowing the caching of not only static files but also dynamic resources like APIs and HTML that can change over time. It is claimed to use a unique cache coherence protocol to minimize data staleness and achieve delta-atomicity.

Browser Caching: Speed Kit leverages browser caching to deliver content faster than traditional CDN caches. The vendor states that it utilizes the browser cache in the user's device, resulting in faster delivery of dynamic content.

Image Optimization: The vendor claims that Speed Kit delivers pixel-perfect images without noticeable quality loss through its image optimization technology. It transcodes all images to WebP format on the edge, reducing file size by an average of nearly 30%.

Third-Party Acceleration: According to the vendor, Speed Kit accelerates external third-party assets by rewriting requests within the client. It fetches third-party assets through a fast HTTP/3 connection to Speed Kit's infrastructure, resulting in faster delivery compared to slow connections to third-party domains.

Predictive Preloading: Speed Kit's predictive preloading technology is said to anticipate user navigation and ensure that essential content and pages are preloaded, providing instant navigations for a smoother experience.

Speed Analytics: The vendor claims that Speed Kit provides speed analytics based on real-user data, allowing users to measure and optimize page speed metrics. It offers an analytics dashboard that provides an overview of core web vitals and time-based charts, with advanced filters for deeper insights and optimization.
