ActivBlaze Technology
Your site’s speed has a direct impact on your bounce rate, conversion rate and visitor satisfaction. That’s why our engineers hand-pick our hardware ourselves and customize it with innovative solutions to craft a highly-efficient server architecture.
Performance Driven
Infrastructure
We have spent the last 7 years hand picking infrastructure to accommodate the most demanding of websites, delivering unmatched scalability, performance and uptime.
ActivLogix offers robust and world-class infrastructure options for a variety of customer sizes and traffic needs. Across our more than 468,000 (and growing daily) installations of WordPress, we serve billions of hits and thousands of terabytes of data each month. Each account, whether an entry-level personal account, or one of our largest dedicated Enterprise solutions, is architected with a best-in-class level of performance, uptime, and redundancy for whichever price-point you decide is right for your business:
Tweaking Server Performance: Using the latest hardware is crucial but is not enough. Server performance can be significantly improved by playing around with different configurations. That is why, as true geeks, our Dedicated Server Operations team are devoted to testing and tweaking improvements in the server architecture that bring out the best results.
Constantly Improvement: Once we’ve found the best performing configuration, we are not satisfied to use it only for the servers we set up from then on. We make the effort to get the best for our loyal customers too. We regularly upgrade hardware thoroughly, transferring existing accounts to the latest configuration. No other team can move accounts around faster and more seamlessly than us.
Immediate Centralize Remediation: We keep on-site replacement parts for every model of server hardware in operation to facilitate immediate reaction in the event of a hardware issue. In the rare cases requiring the information to be transferred to a new machine, we are among the very few hosting companies who keep whole spare servers at hand, installed, plugged and ready to go in a matter of minutes to drastically minimize reaction time.
Clustered for High Availability and Scale: ActivBlaze configurations are capable of serving upwards of 1 billion visitors a month, and are built with high-performance, multi-node virtualization. Enterprise clusters offer an incredible amount of performance and strong redundancy while being able to handle extremely large traffic needs.
Super-Fast
SSD Storage
Running a large blog, e-commerce store, or custom application requires a lot of database input and output (I/O). We use high-performance Solid State Drives in a RAID-10 configuration, so your disk access is extremely fast and redundant and redundant!
ActivCache™ technology combines proxy servers, database, disk caching, and content delivery networks to serve your media incredibly quickly. It works above the Apache web server providing excellent caching solution for all types of websites. Ultimately, It increases the number of hits a site can handle and boosts the website loading speed.
Page Catching: Caching creates an ultra-fast load time, essential for improving Search Engine Optimization and increasing conversions.
Cache Pre-loading: Because our crawler simulates a visit to preload the cache, the indexing of your website by search engines is instantly improved.
Image on Request: Images are loaded only as your visitor scrolls down the page, improving the load time of the page. YouTube, Facebook, Yahoo and other major websites are using this technique.
Static Files Compression: ActivCache™ reduces the weight of your HTML, JavaScript and CSS files through minification and puts them into the server’s RAM. Lighter files means faster load time, plus next time your visitors load your website, the content is fetched directly from the server’s RAM which is significantly faster than the server’s hard drive.
Dynamic Caching: This technique caches the HTML output created by the PHP code of these applications and serves it directly from the RAM, instead of generating it each time.
Memcached: This is a popular caching technique that is used by many database-powered sites like YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia and many others. It caches the results from the database queries into the ram speeding up the website tremendously.
Speed Optimized for WordPress
ActivCache™
ActivCache™ is a global WordPress acceleration system developed by Activlogix team, and it is made exclusively for our clients.
Our Solid-State drives (SSD) make websites fly by serving pages faster than normal shared hosting provider. SSD storage gives you much quicker data access times making your website much more responsive and allowing you to run scripts with ease.
SSD also most known for less latency to serve data to visitors no matter where they are located in the world. Furthermore, they, as the chart illustrates, also have the fastest database in-and-out (I/O) per second.
We tested our already fast SAS 15K drives against 1TB Samsung solid-state drives during busy I/O periods. The result, SSDs pushed out 95% more data than these hard disk drives!
Speed up with CDN
CloudFlare CDN (Content Delivery Network) is included in ActivBlaze architecture. CloudFlare designed its CDN without the legacy of the last 15 years. Their proprietary technology takes advantage of recent changes to hardware, web server technology and network routing.
CDN
Technology
Rocket Loader: Automatically optimizes your pages to minimize the number of network connections and ensure even third party resources won’t slow down page rendering.
AutoMinify: On-the-fly removal of unnecessary characters from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Saves 20% of a file’s size and works without caching so it can support even fully dynamic pages.
Reduced connections: Combines multiple JavaScript files into a single request to avoid the overhead of multiple network requests.
Railgun™: Railgun accelerates the connection between each CloudFlare data center and an origin server so that requests that cannot be served from the CloudFlare cache are nevertheless served very fast.
Amazing Uptime
The care with which we choose our data centers, the unique approach we have to server setup and the 100% dedication of our system administrating teams pays off with great uptime! We have created unique downtime prevention software that not only monitors each server’s status in real-time but also resolves more than 90% of server performance issues instantly with zero human interaction!
