Generally speaking, the end user will not notice the difference between a request directly to an Internet site and a request processed through the URL Filter.

Users within an organization frequently visit the same sites; depending on how you have set it up, you can have IWSVA leverage a local cache. The local cache can quickly evaluate frequently visited sites instead of having to send a request to the external service point.

Typically, the service point will respond with a rating before the agent has started to receive the target page from its host server.
