CDNetworks CDN
What CDNetworks CDN is
CDNetworks CDN accelerates website and application content by caching static files at edge locations near end users. Its Dynamic Web Acceleration also uses tuned TCP links and connection pooling for static and dynamic delivery. CDNetworks says its network spans more than 3,000 CDN PoPs in over 90 countries and regions. Teams can use intelligent path selection, manage selected edge-cache content, and set access rules by IP, region, HTTP headers or timestamp. Origin tools include failover and status monitoring. Dynamic Web Acceleration lists HTTP 2.0, IPv6, QUIC, TLS 1.3 and WebSocket support. A visual console covers domain setup, usage insights, certificates and log downloads, with API references also available. CDNetworks lists basic attack mitigation across CDN Pro tiers and says Layer 4 DDoS mitigation is enabled by default for edge services. A free trial is listed as free. CDN Pro Professional has a $50 a month commitment, with traffic and CPU billed separately; Enterprise pricing is customized.
