Our SPEEDOMETER technology monitors all external links presented to a user. Whenever a page with links is displayed, our mechanism performs a real-time check of the site's availability and current speed of data transmission and shows an icon next to the link. The icon is either a stopsign or an analog speedometer showng rate of access in kilobytes per second.

This feature helps in reducing user frustration and saving valuable time when external sites are temporarily down or very slow, as users can choose to focus on other links.
