Slow-loading mobile websites and applications can be significant revenue-killers for any Web business – just ask the majority of consumers.

One company striving to reduce page-load times and speed up the delivery of mobile sites and apps is Cotendo, which recently launched its Mobile Acceleration Suite (MAS) of products. Designed to accelerate mobile content and to integrate with Cotendo’s other content-acceleration technologies, MAS offers Web businesses and application developers a new way to ensure their content arrives faster and more reliably to end users’ mobile devices.

“While using Cotendo services we’ve seen up to a 33-percent performance improvement on our site,” That’s huge because our customers expect instant response when downloading apps to their handsets,” says Allan Moger, operations manager for GetJar, the world’s largest open app and entertainment store for smartphones with more than 2 billion downloads.

“Aside from the performance benefits, we chose to use Cotendo services because they understand the importance of the mobile space and are ahead of the curve in improving services for the mobile industry.”

Cotendo’s Mobile Acceleration Suite offers mobile-specific solutions that also leverage the company’s other services for content acceleration such as Dynamic Site Acceleration, CDN Load Balancing, Advanced DNS services and the Cloudlet Platform – the first CDN-integrated High Performance Cloud Application Environment.

Limelight Networks, Inc. has announced numerous upgrades to Limelight SITE, its Web acceleration service that was launched in March 2009. Designed to address the evolving demands of businesses trying to provide the best services for their online customers, the updated version offers more control over cache management, SSL support, increased failover options and integrated content security options.

The new platform utilizes Origin Direct technology, which accelerates traffic by routing it over Limelight’s private, network-based infrastructure, allowing for consistently high performance of rich media content. SITE’s Content Storage service provides customers with a modular method that spans multiple servers for fast and flexible scalability.

Traffic Balancer is another new feature that allows SITE users a way to distribute traffic among multiple origin sources, or even multiple content delivery service providers. Customers can define how traffic loads are managed and experience improved site performance, as well as lower their delivery risk.

Also unveiled was the Limelight REACH mobility service, which adds support for enterprises and retailer environments by distributing properly formatted rich media content to almost any mobile or connected device through Limelight’s auto-detection technology.

Limelight also announced that it will support high-performance, media-rich content delivery to the Apple iPad starting on day one of product availability.
