How it works

Live in three steps, not three sprints

There's no proprietary runtime and no migration project. Point a hostname at Edge and the network does the rest.
  1. 01

    Create a deployment

    Choose an origin: any URL, your own server or an Edge Storage bucket. The defaults suit most sites, and you can tune TTLs and rules later.
  2. 02

    Add one DNS record

    Point your hostname at the CDN. The SSL certificate is issued in under a minute and renews itself.
  3. 03

    Serve from 988 locations

    Each visitor reaches the nearest healthy node. The cache warms on its own, and hit ratios usually pass 95% within hours.

Image optimisation

One image URL, the right file for every screen

Add parameters to any image URL and the edge resizes, crops, converts and watermarks it on the fly, then caches the result. No build step, no per-image fees and no changes to your origin.
  • AVIF and WebP, with automatic fallback
  • Resize, crop, quality and fit controls
  • Your logo as a watermark, applied at the edge
  • Each variant cached at the nearest node

Instant purge

Ship a fix and clear it everywhere in under a second

Purge a single file, a path or the whole deployment from the console, the CLI or the API. Every node confirms, usually in well under a second.
  • Purge by URL, path pattern or everything
  • Scriptable from CI with the Edge CLI and API
  • Cache stats update the moment content clears

FAQ

Questions teams ask before switching

Still unsure? Talk to the CDN team.
Is bandwidth really free?
Yes. Egress costs $0 at every scale and in every region. You only pay for requests beyond the free tier, at $0.25 per million.
What happens if I go past the free tier?
Nothing you didn't choose. With paid usage off, delivery pauses at the cap and you're never billed. Turn it on and pay-as-you-go takes over, with an optional monthly ceiling.
Can I keep my DNS provider?
Yes. Add a CNAME to cdn.edge.network wherever your DNS lives. For a root domain, use CNAME flattening or an ALIAS record, or move DNS to Edge for free.
How do I migrate from Cloudflare or CloudFront?
Create a deployment on the same origin, test it on a staging hostname, then switch the DNS record. If you'd rather not do it yourself, our team will run the migration.
Do you support HTTP/3 and TLS 1.3?
Both are on by default for every deployment, and certificates are issued and renewed automatically.
