Built for speed, availability and origin protection.
Cloud CDN caches and accelerates websites, applications, software and media so users reach your content as if the origin were next door.
Low latency worldwide
210+ points of presence across six continents bring cacheable and dynamic content closer to every visitor.
Dynamic content acceleration
Speed up dynamically generated pages and APIs, not only static assets, so applications stay responsive at the edge.
Origin Shield and origin groups
Consolidate cache misses, bind multiple origins to a distribution and keep origin infrastructure off the public path.
Built-in web security
TLS 1.3 with 0-RTT, access policies, token authentication and L3–L7 DDoS mitigation sit in the delivery path.
Image optimization
Convert to WebP or AVIF, resize and crop through query strings, and balance quality against bandwidth.
Video and large-file delivery
Serve live and on-demand video, including 4K, plus game patches and software downloads on the same 200+ Tbps network.
Technical specifications
Protocols, caching, origin protection and operational controls included with Cloud CDN.
Performance and protocols
Modern transport for faster handshakes and delivery.
- HTTP/3 and HTTP/2
- TLS 1.3 with 0-RTT
- Anycast and GeoDNS routing
- Dynamic content acceleration
- WebSockets
- Brotli and Gzip compression
- Custom IP and ASN (BYOIP)
Intelligent caching
Control freshness, prefetch and origin load.
- Purge by URL, file or directory
- Content prefetching
- Cache sharding for lower latency
- Serve stale when the origin is unavailable
- Customizable TTL
- Large-file delivery optimization
Origin protection
Keep the origin responsible only for work that requires it.
- Origin Shield and origin groups
- Origin validation over TLS
- Secure token authentication
- Access control lists
- CORS headers
- Forced HTTPS redirects
- SNI and TLS version control
Operations and TLS
Observe delivery and manage certificates with the distribution.
- Usage statistics and reports
- Raw log export and a built-in log viewer
- Traffic consumption controls
- Managed Let's Encrypt certificates
- Custom SSL certificates
- Custom domain mapping
- API and Grafana integrations
How it works
A request reaches a nearby point of presence first. Cache policy determines whether the edge responds immediately, serves stale content or retrieves through the configured origin path.
- Receive
Anycast and GeoDNS route the request to a nearby point of presence and match it to a distribution.
- Evaluate
Apply cache policy, TLS, access controls and origin behaviour, including Origin Shield when configured.
- Deliver
Return cached content, a stale response if the origin is unavailable, or retrieve through the origin path.
Video and large media
Live streams, video on demand and large files use the same CDN. Repeat viewers are served from cache instead of opening a new origin connection each time.
- 4K-ready live and VOD
- 0.5–4 s live latency
- Origin Shield and serve-stale
Workloads
Use the same delivery service for websites, dynamic applications, images, software and live or on-demand media.
Global delivery
Put websites, applications and downloads next to the people requesting them.
Edge caching and Anycast routing shorten the path for repeat and first-time requests. Average worldwide latency is 30 ms, with an 85% average cache hit ratio across the network.
- Cache websites, APIs, assets and software downloads
- Accelerate dynamic application traffic, not only static files
- Purge or prefetch content when operational needs change
Video and media
Deliver live and on-demand video on the same edge as application traffic.
Cloud CDN is built for stutter-free playback, from live broadcasts to VOD libraries, without a separate delivery stack.
- 4K-ready live and on-demand playback
- 0.5–4 second latency for near real-time broadcasting
- Designed to absorb live events with millions of concurrent viewers
Image optimization
Adapt product and editorial imagery at delivery time.
Apply small URL and configuration changes to convert, crop and quality-tune images without maintaining a separate image pipeline.
- Convert to WebP and AVIF for up to 85% file-size savings at a given quality
- Resize and crop dynamically through query strings
- Control quality to balance page weight and visual fidelity
Operations
Run the delivery layer without building the delivery network.
Configure distributions, origins, hostnames, caching and delivery controls through the Management Console or API.
- Separate origin, hostname and cache configuration
- Operational purge, prefetch and traffic controls
- A migration path that can be validated before DNS cutover

Frequently Asked Questions
Cloud CDN serves eligible content from 210+ points of presence instead of sending every request to origin. Average worldwide latency is 30 ms. HTTP/3, HTTP/2, TLS 1.3 with 0-RTT, Anycast routing and Brotli or Gzip compression further shorten the path.
Yes. You can connect custom hostnames to a Cloud CDN distribution, map them through the Aptranet edge and optionally bring your own IP and ASN.
Yes. Cloud CDN delivers over HTTPS with TLS 1.3 and 0-RTT, managed Let's Encrypt certificates, custom certificates, SNI, forced HTTPS redirects and TLS version control.
Cached responses, an 85% average cache hit ratio, Origin Shield, origin groups and serve-stale behaviour reduce duplicate origin work during surges or origin failure.
Origin Shield adds a shared caching layer between edge delivery and your origin. Eligible cache misses are consolidated there so the origin sees fewer duplicate fetches. You can also bind several origins to one distribution.
Yes. The same CDN handles websites, APIs, software and game downloads, live streaming and video on demand, including 4K playback and live latency in the 0.5–4 second range.
Cloud CDN supports HTTP/3, HTTP/2, WebSockets, Brotli and Gzip. Operations can run through the Management Console, API and Grafana, with purge, prefetch, raw logs and usage reports.
Create a distribution, connect an origin, validate delivery on an Aptranet hostname, then move production DNS when you are ready.
