You've been Akamized!Sonic.net has partnered with Akamai Technologies to deliver content from the most popular websites on a "zero hop" basis. Akamai has colocated five new servers here in Sonic.net's Santa Rosa data center which are dedicated to delivering content to our customers. Used by major sites including Yahoo! and CNN, Akamai's FreeFlow technology enhances Web performance by accelerating the delivery of robust, secure content with animation, graphics, streaming media and interactivity.Akamai's colocated servers serve heavy content including images and animations directly to Sonic.net customers. This means that the HTML code portion of the web page comes directly from the website you're visiting, but special directives in the HTML cause the images to be served locally here at Sonic.net. The images and other heavy content on the website will often be more than 80% of the total overhead, so serving this content locally is a big win. |
