What is Railgun?


Railgun is a WAN optimization technology that Dubai Dream Host offer it's hosting customers in partnership with a company called CloudFlare. CloudFlare’s Railgun technology greatly speeds up the delivery of non-cached pages. While CloudFlare automatically caches 65% of the resources needed to make up a page, 35% can't be cached because the resources are dynamically generated by the website coding or marked as 'do not cache'. That 35% is often the initial HTML of the page that must be downloaded first locally. CloudFlare Railgun speeds this remaining 35%.
