"TurboGold is the only software solution to provide this unmatched level of optimization for Web-based applications, including SSL acceleration. Through a unique combination of our client and server technology, customers have seen a 3 to 1 improvement in application response time, with up to a 90% reduction in bandwidth and storage utilization."

And clearly, frustrated users will cheer any tool, which can speed Web-based data delivery."
