Edge Acceleration with Multi-CDN

Yottaa has been reevaluating our product offerings and decided to discontinue Edge Acceleration Platform services, including our CDN, security, and proxy optimization tools, effective February 28, 2025. As part of this change, we are partnering with Fastly to provide continued CDN, WAF, and Image Optimization service. All sites currently using Edge Acceleration Platform, with a contract end date after February 28, 2025, will be migrated to Fastly’s network.We will ensure a smooth transition and coordinate migration plans with you if your contracted services extend beyond the end-of-service date.

Please inform all relevant contacts within your organization of this notice. For more information, please refer to Edge End-of-Service Date Is February 28, 2025 which includes a FAQ, or contact your Yottaa Account Manager.

Edge Acceleration is a powerful tool for speeding up and protecting your site. When you become a Edge Acceleration customer, Yottaa's reverse proxy allows us to become your CDN, optimize your content, control third parties, and protect your customers' data with a Web Application Firewall (WAF). Here is a quick overview: 

Content Optimization

When you use Yottaa as a reverse proxy, it allows us to optimize your content in numerous ways from compressing and transcoding images to using InstantOn, our proprietary feature that selectively caches HTML elements for faster page loading. We optimize 99 percent of your traffic, and route the remaining 1 percent through your origin server as a control to help you understand how well Yottaa is working.

Data and Analytics

Edge Acceleration provides you with dashboards that help you understand the traffic flowing to your site. The Edge Acceleration dashboards show information that Yottaa gathers from the servers, so they update in real time.

As a Edge Acceleration customer, you also have access to all Yottaa performance data. The Yottaa dashboards show information that Yottaa gathers from your users' browsers.

Third Party Control

Edge Acceleration also improves performance by controlling when and how third parties load on your site. Sequencing the loading of third parties saves significant time, which means a lower bounce rate and higher conversions.

Security

All Edge Acceleration customers get protection from Yottaa's Web Application Firewall (WAF). Customer Success helps you create rules to allow, block, throttle, or redirect traffic that might put your site at risk. Customers can also add additional security options, including:

  • Advanced WAF, which uses an OWASP ruleset for enhanced security and threat detection.

  • Bot detection and mitigation.

Alerts and Anomaly Detection

You can define alerts in the Edge Acceleration portal to notify you of any potential issues on your site. For example, you might want to receive an alert when your site reaches a certain amount of 4xx response codes within a specific timeframe.

You can also set up anomaly detection, a Yottaa feature that notifies you whenever anything out of the ordinary happens on your site.
