4 Recommendations to Maximize Savings and Performance with Fastly's CDN

Optimizing web infrastructure with Fastly's Content Delivery Network (CDN) offers a significant competitive advantage by enhancing user experience and reducing costs. Fastly enables businesses to measure performance using key metrics such as Origin Offload, which indicates the percentage of traffic handled by the CDN instead of the origin, and Cache Hit Ratio, which measures the percentage of requests resolved from cache. It facilitates serving dynamic content, like user profiles and real-time comments, through dynamic purging, which reduces origin load and improves delivery speed. By focusing on high-impact requests that are frequent, large, or critical to user experience, companies can achieve substantial cost savings, such as those from an e-commerce API with large responses. Fastly's suite of observability and control tools offers real-time visibility and strategic adjustments through features like purge scheduling and global configuration deployments, ensuring infrastructure optimization and security. Gabriela Luna and Guillermo Guardián highlight these strategies in a Spanish webinar, emphasizing that maximizing CDN efficiency is a crucial business strategy.
