Patent-pending acceleration technology combines multiple proven acceleration methods to provide more speed and options. MenaNet employs a variety of technologies to move web pages over the internet more quickly,no changes required from our users. Acessibility speed improvement, with the same equipment and browser. Most of MenaNet's technology is proprietary and many of the speed-enhancement details are confidential. However, here are the basic key elements... The proxy servers and Accelerator software use proprietary data compression technology that is far more effective than the normal compression technology based on public standards. MenaNet's state-of-the-art compression technology compresses text data up to 10x and image data up to 3x, far higher than public standards.

Our multi-point caching mechanism further speeds downloading of graphics and static files.

On average, DNS lookup on our servers is much faster, given the proximity of our computers to the DNS servers.

Conversion of GIF image files to JPEG lowers the amount of data on a Web page (GIF files tend to be larger).

Persistent connections to our servers eliminate frequent creation of TCP connections.

Suppression of banner ads saves additional bandwidth needs.

Prevention of annoying pop-up ads before they reach the desktop reduces download time and also increases privacy (many pop-ups contain cookies). MenaNet's Pop-up Removal feature blocks pop-ups, pop-unders and exit windows, while allowing for 'legitimate' pop-ups.

Blocking of web "bugs" that are used by advertisers to track Internet users will further protect your privacy.
