Web Caching

Surfing sites anywhere in the world can seem just like you're surfing right next door. Normally when you use the web, your browser has to download data from servers that can be anywhere across the globe. No matter how fast your own connection is, if the server's own link is slow or overloaded, your downloads are going to be slow.

A web cache eliminates that problem. Only the first person to download something has to deal with the slowness of the remote server. Everybody after that gets to benefit from high-speed access to the cache. The cache is smart enough to recognize when content has changed, too, and it will automatically download new content whenever it's available.
