CDN features
Every feature, switched on for every plan
Caching rules, image optimisation, watermarks, password protection, DDoS absorption, free SSL and a full API. The free tier gets all of it; paying customers just get more requests.
01
Delivery
Edge rules
Say exactly how each path behaves
Write path rules for TTLs, cache bypass, redirects and headers. They run top to bottom and the first match wins, so a new rule never has side effects you didn't write.
- Glob patterns: * for one segment, ** for any depth
- Override TTLs, bypass cache, ignore query strings
- Presets for static sites, e-commerce, media and APIs
- Regions
Global edge network
988 locations on six continents. Visitors get the nearest one. - Edge Cache
Smart caching
Sensible defaults by content type, plus permanent Edge Cache for assets that never change. - Purging
Instant purge
Clear a URL, a path or everything, worldwide, in under 500ms. - Smart Routing
Smart routing
Origin fetches take the fastest healthy path and fail over in under a second.
02
Media
Images and watermarks
Transform images in the URL, brand them at the edge
Resize, crop, re-encode to AVIF or WebP and overlay your logo with query parameters. The edge does the work once, caches each variant, and your origin keeps serving the original file.
- Automatic AVIF → WebP → JPEG by browser support
- Watermark position, size and opacity under your control
- Per-path quality and max-width rules
- No per-image fees on any plan
03
Security
Password protection
Lock a staging site without touching its code
Put any domain or preview build behind a username and password. The check happens at the edge, before the cache, so nothing leaks and signed-in traffic still runs at full speed.
- Per-domain credentials, set in the console
- Enforced before cache and origin
- Remove it with one switch on launch day
DDoS protection, included
Volumetric attacks are absorbed across the network before they reach your origin. There's no separate product to buy.Free SSL, renewed for you
Certificates are issued in under a minute and renewed automatically. Bring your own certificate if you need to.
04 · Observability & automation
See everything, script everything
Traffic, bandwidth, hit rate, errors and regional split update as requests happen. Everything the console does, the REST API and CLI do too.
- Per-deployment dashboards with minute-level data
- Regional distribution of requests and bandwidth
- REST API for deployments, domains, config and purge
- Edge CLI for CI pipelines
deploy.sh
# purge changed assets after every deploy
curl -X POST https://api.edge.network/v1/cdn/deployments/$ID/purge \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $EDGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "paths": ["/assets/*"] }'Everything else
