Faster web applications, happier users, and liberated developers – these are a few of the many benefits of Riverbed Stingray™ Aptimizer software. Sophisticated web content optimization (WCO) techniques automatically speed up public websites, intranets, cloud apps, and Microsoft SharePoint deployments.
Test your site's performance now with the Website Speed Test tool.
Speed up web content served across networks regardless of access device or browser used for improved application performance and a high level of service for users.
Deployed as software on the web server itself, Stingray Aptimizer software delivers four categories of performance features:
Accelerate the load times of your complex web pages by up to than four times. Meanwhile, intelligent caching and dynamic compression reduces data on the wire by up to 90%.
Just-in-time acceleration automatically adapts your content to all of the popular browsers and devices, including mobile devices running Google Android OS and Apple iOS.
A patent-pending process cuts SharePoint load times 33–75% by reducing browser round trips back and forth to the server. No extra hardware, no changes to website application code, or additional costs necessary.

By making automatic performance tuning possible, Stingray Aptimizer helped US Markerboard reduce page load times by three seconds, without developer involvement. US Markerboard also saw direct improvements in sales:
At Golder Associates, SharePoint page load times were reduced immediately in regions where performance had previously been poor. A page that took 55 seconds to become available to a user in Johannesburg, South Africa for instance, now took only 15 seconds for the first view.
“Although the primary benefit of Stingray Aptimizer software is performance improvement, it has also helped improve adoption of the intranet in those areas where performance originally lagged.”
- Greg Stimson, financial and program manager at Golder Associates.
Stingray Aptimizer software dynamically accelerates web content by merging scripts and style sheets for fewer browser to web-server round trips, compressing images to reduce bandwidth, optimizing caching for faster repeat visits, and prioritizing actions to give the best possible response time for loading web pages.
Install the software on a server, as a proxy, as a licensed add-on to Stingray Traffic Manager software, or as a web-server extension for SharePoint. Configuration takes just 1 to 2 hours with no changes to your application.
Sophisticated WCO techniques accelerate web content and reduce data size. Stingray Aptimizer reduces the number of HTTP round trips, and adaptively adjusts layout for more efficient page loading.
This is our standalone solution for web content optimization for any web application. It works with any application delivery controller (ADC), making it easy to upgrade and accelerate exiting enterprise or online applications.
A licensed add-on to Stingray Traffic Manager software, making it the industry’s only complete ADC with integrated WCO capability.
Deployed as a simple web-server extension to Microsoft SharePoint, this version speeds up a SharePoint website or intranet. It reduces browser round trips to and from the server, which lowers page load times up to 90%.
