Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for providing accelerated and secure wireless data transmission over the internet. Accelerated and secure wireless data transmission over the internet is provided through use of a specific agent, referred to as a Wireless Web Accelerator (WWA) agent that further optimizes and accelerates data transport and processing for wireless web-based applications. Data transport and processing between client devices, such as MCDs, PDAs, and other wireless devices, and web-based applications is optimized and accelerated by the WWA agent, which reduces the amount of data necessary to transmit in processing the requested transaction and modifies the data transmitted to the client device to facilitate more efficient rendering by the web browser on the wireless client device. The amount of data required to be transmitted is reduced by compressing, removing, and/or modifying unusable, superfluous, or otherwise unnecessary data.
