Insider SpaceAgent 2.5

INSIDER WEB SITE OPTIMIZER ENHANCES JAVASCRIPT, ASP, AND XML SUPPORT
SpaceAgent 2.5 Makes Web Pages Load and Render Over 30% Faster

November 13, 2000 [Carlsbad, California] Insider Software today announced
the release of SpaceAgent 2.5, which improves the website optimizer’s power
to accelerate JavaScript, Active Server Page (ASP) and XML code. The new
enhancements add to SpaceAgent’s powerful arsenal of web site optimizing
capabilities. In addition, the new version brings a free functional demo
mode to the SpaceAgent website optimizer product family.

NEW FULL-FEATURED DEMO VERSION
Insider offers a free demo version of SpaceAgent that lets designers, web
professionals, webmasters optimize a web page at a time to test how
SpaceAgent speeds up their sites. After buying the full version, users can
simply drop an entire folder onto the SpaceAgent icon and it optimizes
every page and image contained in the folder’s hierarchy.

JAVASCRIPT, XML, AND ASP OPTIMIZER DELIVERS COMPILER BENEFITS SpaceAgent
2.5 removes comments, white space, unneeded data, redundant tags, and
superfluous tags from HTML, JavaScript, XML, and ASP code. This enables
browsers to render web pages faster and allows script language interpreters
to parse and run scripts more efficiently. SpaceAgent’s new capability
brings optimizing-compiler benefits to interpreted scripting languages such
as JavaScript and VBScript, and mark-up languages such as HTML and XML.
Normally, scripting and markup language processors simply run non-optimized
code, thereby slowing down the execution and rendering process.

SIMPLE ONE-STEP WEB SITE OPTIMIZATION
To optimize their web sites, users simply drop a web page or a folder
containing a web site onto the SpaceAgent window. In seconds, SpaceAgent
writes the new optimized code wherever users specify, leaving the original
code unmodified.

“There are low-end web tools that compress graphics and those that compress
HTML, but many of them break pages routinely and only do basic
optimizations”, commented Insider president Rio Sabadicci. “The new
SpaceAgent intelligently handles whatever web code and images you throw at
it and achieves the maximum compression while faithfully maintaining the
page’s appearance. After SpaceAgent optimizes the code and graphics, any
web site is noticeably faster.”

NEW VERSION SUPPORTS ALL TYPES OF TEXT FILES SpaceAgent 2.5 also adds the
ability to optimize any web page text file, not just those with standard
filetype identifiers such as .htm. Therefore, the new version enhances
support for .js, .jss, .XML, .rml, .incl, .asp, .txt, .inc, .cfm, .ssi and
other web page text files.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
Insider SpaceAgent 2.5 is available for both Windows and Macintosh and can
be downloaded immediately from Insider’s web site at
