    • Turbo Cache- The entire HTML contentsof a page is stored by Turbo Cache and served without running PHPfor up to 20X fasterpage loads.
    • Memcached - Increases the speed of your MySQL databases by keeping your most important data in memoryfor quicker retrieval.

    Anycast DNS

    With our Anycast DNS solution, DNS records are duplicated across A2 Hosting's global network ultimately bringing them closer to your visitors. Anycast DNS increases performance when your site is visited by offering quicker response times, lowering latency and increasing redundancy.

    HTTP/2 & HTTP/3

    HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are major revisions to the HTTP network protocol and are included with all Turbo plans. HTTP/3 provides significantly faster page load times than HTTP because of its ability to deliver more HTTP requests at once and prioritize those requests.  HTTP/3 delivers files 20%-30% faster than HTTP.

    Edge Side Includes (ESI)

    With ESI, you no longer have to designate an entire page as non-cacheable just because one portion cannot be cached. Instead you can easily designate portions of your page to be cached (or not cached) with ESI. This is significant especially for sites created by applications like Magento or WordPress.
