Origin Shield

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

Optimise Your Origin Performance

Better Cache Hit Rates

Origin Shield provides an extra caching layer for a huge improvement in cache hit rates. Average 30% improvement in CHR.

Reduce Origin Load

By increasing your cache hit rate and utilising request collapsing you can significantly reduce the number of requests to your origin, reducing load and saving on egress fees. 20% reduction in server load.

Faster Loading

Directing traffic through the Peakhour POP nearest to your origin ensures better network performance. Traffic traverses our high throughput network to the origin shield cutting down on latency to your origin. 10% reduction in network latency.

"Origin Shield is a centralised caching layer that routes requests to the closest point-of-presence (POP) to your origin. This increases cache hit ratio, reduces origin load, and enhances performance."

How Does It Work?

Origin Shield designates a POP to aggregate uncached requests, minimising traffic to your origin server. This increases your cache hit ratio, enabling faster content delivery and better performance.

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 reduce costs.
