How It Works

Content Acceleration mainly accelerates the transmission speed of the middle mile. When data is requested by end users for the first time, CDNetworks will fetch the data from your origin and then deliver it to your users via the optimal PoP decided by the Global Balancing System. Meanwhile, CDNetworks will cache static content in the edge PoPs. If being requested, the cached content will be delivered to your users via the edge PoP, offloading your origin and accelerating data transmission. The architecture is as follows:
