About WEXAL
WEXAL is an “acceleration engine” for web systems. It improves the user experience, reducing abandonment rates, increasing turnover, and improving conversion rates.
While website content is becoming richer and richer against the backdrop of the development of the communications environment and other factors, there is a need to improve the user experience through high-speed and secure browsing, It is one of the indicators for evaluating websites.
WEXAL automatically lightens the weight of resources such as images and optimizes browser rendering so that Strategy AI David’s optimization strategies display first-view content the fastest, improving Core Web Vitals metrics and PageSpeed Insights (*2) scores..
The technologies that comprise WEXAL, “Automatic Web Content Display Control Method,” and Strategy AI David, “Automatic High-Speed Web Content Display Control Method,” have been filed internationally under the provisions of the Patent Cooperation Treaty, and are expected to be approved in Japan and the United States as early as August 2023.
