Content Delivery Network
A CDN transforms your website into a fast loading, highly optimised website.
We use the same internet exchange points (neural data centres) used by the worlds leading technology companies, such as AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and many others.
This CDN will improve reliability and uptime of your website. Your website files are stored and served from data centres close to your visitors, meaning there are fewer ‘hops’ in the network. The internet service provider only needs to route the user to our nearest POP, reducing the potential number of delays on the journey.

Global Edge Caching
When enabled, we will automatically cache static content at our network edge, ensuring rapid delivery of all your Images, JavaScript and CSS files, to your visitors, not matter where they are located. You can take complete control over how long we store this content for. If you’ve updated your website and want to ensure all users are seeing the latest content before the cache expires, you can also run an instant Cache Purge, to push your changes to the edge.
The more content you cache, the faster your website will load. The faster it loads, the better user experience will be delivered, and of course, Google loves fast loading websites.
Advanced Dynamic Cache Control
Enabling our Dynamic Cache provides the ability to cache any resource at our edge by using public Cache-Control and Expires headers. Once enabled, you can start storing content in this cache by configuring your application to emit those headers. Combined with our Cache, this gives you full page dynamic content caching ensuring rapid TTFB times for all resources regardless of visitor location. Advanced users can check the output of the X-CDN-Cache-Status header to see whether a resource was cached.
Fully Control Your Custom Cache Settings
You can control how long your images, JavaScript and CSS are cached for, on a per item basis.
Image Cache
Chose how long should we store images at our edge.
CSS Cache
Set how long should we store style-sheets and fonts at our edge.
JavaScript Cache
Chose how long should we store JavaScript files at our edge.
Clear Your Edge Cache At Any Time
Depending on how your have set-up your cache, changes to your website, may not be reflected in the live version, right away. Purging the cached files will force all edge servers to fetch fresh copies of your changes, directly from your website.
Purging the cache may temporarily degrade the performance for your website, due to the files having to be reloaded to the edge cache. Keep checking for delivery improvements…you won’t have to wait long!

Automatic image resizing
Oversized images are slow to load, and affect your website performance. Our CDN will scan your images and resize them to the correct size, for both mobile and desktop.
Image compression
‘Raw’ images can contain unwanted information that can be removed or compressed, with no loss in quality. Our CDN compresses your images ‘on the fly’, speeding up your website.
Next-Gen image formats
We have developed image optimisation tools that will automatically convert your image files to a fast-loading next-gen image format,such as JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP.
Code minification
The CDN can minify and strip white-space from your code. It will compress your HTML, CSS and JavaScript files to reduce time spent parsing, compiling and executing it. The data payload is reduced, so sites load faster.
Lazy content loading
Only load what’s going to be presented to the user immediately: what’s going to be seen first. Your above-the-fold content will appear in a browser more quickly by deferring off-screen images or other non-critical resources.
One-click optimisation
We can give your website a performance boost, on both mobile and desktop PCs, with a single click. A simple, risk-free solution, that will give you better Google PageSpeed scores. Add more customisation to make your website even faster.
