How does it Work?

Propel Accelerator is designed to provide maximum acceleration for all Web sites and additional acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly. So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load!

Specifically, Propel Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages five ways:

• Compression. Images and other graphic objects are compressed by removing some of the image detail. This results in dramatically smaller images that are delivered to your computer much quicker. You may set your own default level of graphic compression through the Propel Icon Menu. You may also right click on any image or Web page and select the menu item to refresh in the image or Web page in full quality.

• Caching. Propel intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your desktop.

• Persistent Connections. Propel Accelerator optimizes the communication between your modem and our network of servers. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.

• Chunk Encoding with Parallel Connections. When a user begins to download a file larger than 100KB, this feature downloads different segments of the same file from different locations.

• Optional Content Filtering. Propel Accelerator lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up ads and in-page ads. Blocking these ads causes Web pages to load faster.
• Pop-up Windows. (Windows Only). Propel Accelerator can block pop-up and pop-under windows that clutter your screen and slow down your surfing.
• In-page Ads Propel Accelerator can block most advertisements that appear on Web pages. When an ad is blocked, it is replaced with a light gray box on the Web page to make sure that Web pages maintain their intended design. You can easily view blocked ads by right clicking on the gray box. As with pop-up blocking, you can turn this feature on and off any time you like.
