Does Google Web Accelerator speed up all web pages?
No, it doesn't. For security reasons, Google Web Accelerator won't speed up pages encrypted with the HTTPS: protocol (such as bank records pages). Also, Google Web Accelerator only speeds up web pages, not large data downloads such as MP3 and streaming video files.

1. What is Google Web Accelerator? Google Web Accelerator is an application that uses the power of Google's global computer network to make web pages load faster. Google Web Accelerator is easy to use; all you have to do is download and install it, and from then on many web pages will automatically load faster than before. Please note that Google Web Accelerator is currently in beta test mode. If you have any problems using it or have suggestions for how we can improve it, please see the Google Group devoted to it. Also note that during the first part of our beta testing period, users outside of North America and Europe may not see much improvement in their web page loading speed. 2.

David MartlandShould this work any better than any other similar system, such as Onspeed? This claims to be optimised for broadband, unlike Onspeed, which is optimised for dial-up. Does it work at all?
