Foxtons news

It's only a couple of years since broadband became widely used. Even so, as superior as broadband is in terms of speed, there are still ways in which a website can be made to operate even faster. As Foxtons is committed to using technology that can benefit its customers, they have employed a range of methods to ensure that Foxtons.co.uk works as swiftly as is possible.

Through edge caching, Foxtons.co.uk can now be accessed using thousands of servers across a global network. This means that, wherever you are in the world, when you log on to Foxtons.co.uk you will access it from the nearest local server, cutting down the time it will take for the site to open.

Through the process of caching, each page you visit on Foxtons.co.uk will be indexed by your computer. This allows your computer to display pages and images you have viewed before almost instantaneously, only needing to revisit the Foxtons servers when the page is changed or updated.

To speed things up even further, pages on Foxtons.co.uk are now optimised, meaning that less data is used to download the page, but there is absolutely no loss of quality. Pages are now also sent to your computer zipped, meaning that, in transit, the file size of a page is dramatically reduced. The server will recognise if your computer can unzip the page, and when it reaches your computer it will automatically be restored to its original size.

The practical upshot of all these clever technical changes is that Foxtons.co.uk now runs as fast as it is possible for a website to run; so in spite of the huge number of properties and amount of information contained on the site, you will be able to view it without any frustrating delays. That's good news for anyone looking for property using the internet!
