How does ONSPEED work?
As you cannot physically change the speed of your
Internet connection, ONSPEED uses a technology
called Content Sensitive Compression ('CSC') to individually
compress each element of a web page or email using various
compression algorithms based on a patent approved proprietary
technology. The end result is that your web pages and emails (PC
only) load and download faster using your existing Internet
connection.
When your web browser requests a
web page, the ONSPEED software redirects that
request to the ONSPEED compression servers. They
take the respective web page content, compress it and send it
back down to the ONSPEED software which
decompresses it and sends it to the browser requesting the
information.
ONSPEED offers a unique, patented technology
called "Advanced Imaging", enabling you to receive fully viewable
and instantly usable web pages, while maintaining the maximum
quality of images. Advanced Imaging delivers all images on a page
simultaneously. You continue to browse web pages while images are
being progressively loaded. Image quality progressively improves
until images have reached lossless quality.
ONSPEED's dedicated algorithms compress the
following elements:
-
Text
-
HTML
objects
-
Photo-realistic images (e.g. Compressed and uncompressed
JPEG, PNG, Compressed and uncompressed GIF, and
BMP)
-
Line art and drawings (e.g. GIF,
BMP)
-
Animated objects
(GIF)
-
Office documents (Word,
Excel,
PowerPoint)
-
Macromedia
Flash
If a web page or email contains information that is not
covered by a dedicated algorithm, ONSPEED will
apply a generic compression algorithm to that data
element.
Once installed, you will not even notice
ONSPEED is
there.
ONSPEED runs
in the background speeding up your Internet connection
automatically. While information is being downloaded from or
uploaded to the Internet you will notice the
ONSPEED icon rotating in the system tray
(located in the lower right-hand corner of the desk top). This
indicates that ONSPEED is working and
compressing the
data.
ONSPEED can also be easily turned on and
off. This can be done from the taskbar or in the browser
menu-bar.
