Edge Acceleration Overview
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.
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 add site acceleration to your Yottaa account, your traffic is proxied through Yottaa's servers. This allows Yottaa 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.
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.
All Edge Acceleration customers receive basic protection with our Web Application Firewall (WAF). For increased security, you can also purchase our Advanced WAF, which uses an OWASP ruleset, and PerimeterX, which provides bot mitigation.
To help you stay ahead of any potential threats, Edge Acceleration allows you to set up email alerts, which can identify on requests, origins of traffic, and other things commonly found in access logs. Through Yottaa basic monitoring, which you get for free with Edge Acceleration, you also have access to anomaly alerts, which notify you whenever something out of the ordinary happens on your site.
