How Can Speed Up the Web

Internet Connection: By default, we assume you're on home DSL broadband, with a speed between 128K and 1M.
If your connection is faster than 1M, click Cable Modem / T1.
If your connection is slower than 128K, click Dialup.

Prefetching Pages: One way that Google Web Accelerator makes web pages load faster is by loading the content of some web pages in advance, even before you click on them (including the top search results on Google). To turn off prefetching, uncheck the Enable Prefetching box.

Cached Pages: Google Web Accelerator stores (caches) copies of viewed and prefetched pages. If you return to a page, Google Web Accelerator will check for a newer version of the page, unless you turn off this preference.

Clear Your History: To delete all the web pages stored in your Google Web Accelerator cache, just click the Clear History button.
Don't Accelerate These Sites: If a site is not compatible with Google Web Accelerator, or if you don't want requests for that site sent through Google, you can specify that it not be accelerated.

Visit http://webaccelerator.google.com to download and install the Google Web Accelerator.
