Origin Shield

Modern CDNs have multitudes of servers that each manage their own cache of your website's content. Origin shielding can dramatically increase the cache hit rate for your site.

Faster loading

Directing traffic through the nearest POP ensures lightning-fast load times and increases cache hit rates.

Cost efficient

Achieve up to a 57% reduction in your origin's load, saving on operational and egress bandwidth costs.

"Origin Shield serves as a centralised caching layer, intelligently routing all requests to the closest point-of-presence (POP) to the origin. This smart routing increases the cache hit ratio, reducing the load on your origin, and enhances the performance and availability of your digital platform."

How Does It Work?

Designating a POP as the aggregation point for incoming uncached requests, Origin Shield minimises the number of requests to your origin server. This routing increases your cache hit ratio, enabling faster content delivery, more efficient performance, and no downtime at your origin.

Who Can Benefit?

Whether for live streaming, image handling, or multi-CDN workloads, businesses across sectors can leverage Origin Shield to reduce latency, improve user experience, and realise cost reduction.
