 How does WebBlazer work?
Data Compression & Image Optimization
Before the text and graphics that make up web pages get sent to you over your phone line, WebBlazer compresses their file size. Smaller files are able to appear faster on your computer screen.

Memory Enhancement
WebBlazer uses caching technology to store elements of frequently visited web sites so they load faster on future visits. Therefore, a web site will load faster with WebBlazer, and even faster yet each time you visit a web site again.

Continuous Optimization
WebBlazer continuously optimizes the communication between your sytem's modem and First Step's network while you are online. WebBlazer is constantly working to make your web surfing experience faster and faster.

Pop-Up Blocking
WebBlazer features the ability to block those annoying pop-up advertisements that appear on your screen when you visit certain web sites. Since your computer will no longer have to download these ads when you go to a web site, the actual web page loads even faster.
