Method and system are disclosed for accelerating a response to a request made by a user of an Internet ( 1 ) coupled to a server ( 2 ), which is coupled to a shared storage ( 5 ). Preferably, an object response accelerator ( 4 ), or ORA, is inserted between the Internet and the server, and the ORA is coupled by at least one direct access communication link (DACL) to the shared storage. A request from a user to the server is forwarded to the ORA for detection of a condition, on the request. The request is processed locally by the ORA in presence of the condition, but returned to the server in absence thereof. Local processing calls for the ORA to access the shared storage via the DACL and to retrieve the response therefrom. A response to the user is returned via the ORA, both when processed locally or by the server.
