Question One
Content proxy is a web service on your server that can fetch data from external
URLs and return it to the browser. How does the proxy improve the load time
for users?
In computing networks, a proxy server is a kind of application that acts as an
intermediary that has the capability to fetch data from external webservers. The major
feature of the content proxy is that it control and address the traffic and unwanted signs
occurred in the server that helps to improve the load time of for the consumers.
Moreover, utilization of content proxy can help companies to enhance performance of
networks by utilizing compression tools that effectively improve load time. It is
determined that proxy server is able to lead the consumer experience over the
computing networks and provide a way to protect data from malicious codes that
enhance the reliability and effectiveness of the data transmission and improve load
time for consumers. The significant advantage of the content proxy is that it makes
computing networks used by the companies more secure that can prevent data breach
activities and protect data from the attackers. The speed of internet may be enhanced
through proxy server as it save more bandwidth and compresses the traffic signals that
provide a way to effectively optimize internet speed and loading time for the
consumers.
