Automatic DeploymentThe ToolTwist Controller automates deployment to servers, seamlessly handling many of the tasks normally performed by an IT infrastructure team. Web sites can be quickly set up on a local server or over the Intranet, making ToolTwist is ideal for Cloud based hosting providers.
New servers can be set up in minutes, with specific options for Continuous Integration environments, Testing, Demonstrations, Quality Assurance, Staging and Production environments. This flexibility allows you to create server environments whenever you need them, then shut them down when you no longer need them.
Performance OptimizationsThe Controller is our "secret sauce", and the key to ToolTwist's ability to produce super fast websites. ToolTwist's page pre-generation removes the need to go to the database for many production pages. Generated code runs through multiple filters to improve it's performance. Some of these include: link validation, image compression, javascript optimization, javascript minification, automatic creation of sprites, CSS optomization, whitespace removal, and file compression.
Performing these optimizations by hand on a large website can take days. However, ToolTwist's automated deployment processor performs them in seconds.
