WA Performance

Hi Ravi,

 

 

Did you prime the cache prior to running the second test? The first request for an object will always result in a proxy to the origin server for the content. The acceleration rules defined in the policy will then impact whether or not WebAccelerator will cache that content and for how long. If the content is cacheable the second request for that content will be served from cache, as long as it hasn't expired. When testing the response times of pages with WebAccelerator I always recommend running 2 test runs prior to a timed run to prime the cache.
