 Domain Lookup Acceleration: Enable DNS Caching

For your convenience, Rapid IE’s Startup preferences will be checked or activated to Enable DNS Caching. Having this item checked means that Rapid IE will get smarter every time your surf the web.

Here's How:

Did you know that every website (such as www.yahoo.com) has a corresponding number, similar to a phone number, attached to it? (This is technically called an IP address.) IP addresses exist because just think how hard it would be for us to remember 122.448.899.90 is the number for Yahoo?

On the flip side this means that every time you type in www.yahoo.com, your browser has to "dial up" the website and ask for the correct "phone number". Rapid IE is different in that it remembers these numbers every time you call and saves them in a virtual address book. This means less time wasted on "dialing" and less time for a website to load! What’s more, websites, like people sometimes move and change addresses. Rapid IE is constantly monitoring these and updating its address book.

Automatically enabling this technology, called DNS Caching, will accelerate your surfing.

To make this feature inactive, simply uncheck the box labelled Enable DNS Caching.

To get rid of the "numbers" stored in your "virtual address book", click on the link Empty DNS Cache.


 Content Filtering:

You can access your Content Filter Settings in the Acceleration tab of the Preferences window. These can also be accessed via clicking on the Rapid IE icon and choosing Content Filtering.

Our content filter settings have been created to give you complete control of your web surfing. Oftentimes, images, flash, animation and background noise require lots of memory and can cause a web page to load at a snail’s pace! Our settings let you turn these options on and off with a single click.
