# Edge Delivery Guides

Use edge delivery to reduce latency, protect origins, and serve global traffic reliably.

- [Multi-CDN Explained](/en/guides/multi-cdn-strategy.md): Learn when a Multi-CDN architecture is justified, how to steer traffic safely, and how to test failover without creating cache or security gaps.

- [CDN Caching Explained](/en/guides/cdn-caching.md): Learn how CDN caching works, which assets and responses are safe to cache, how cache keys and purges work, and how to avoid serving private data publicly.

- [Static vs Dynamic Content](/en/guides/static-vs-dynamic-content.md): Learn what to cache at the edge, how to handle dynamic and personalized content, and how to verify cache correctness without leaking data.

- [Speed Up a Slow Website](/en/guides/speed-up-slow-website.md): A practical 2026 checklist for diagnosing and speeding up a slow website, from TTFB and Core Web Vitals to images, JavaScript, caching, and CDN delivery.

- [DNS Performance Guide](/en/guides/dns-performance.md): Understand DNS lookup latency, recursive caching, authoritative DNS, Anycast, TTLs, DNSSEC, measurement, migration, and rollback for faster websites.

- [CDN Migration Guide](/en/guides/cdn-migration.md): A step-by-step CDN migration plan covering configuration parity, DNS, TLS, cache behaviour, observability, staged cutover, and rollback.

- [Peak Traffic Readiness](/en/guides/peak-traffic-readiness.md): A practical peak-traffic readiness checklist covering capacity, caching, security, load testing, observability, and incident response.

- [Ecommerce Image Optimization](/en/guides/ecommerce-image-optimization.md): A practical ecommerce image optimization guide covering AVIF, WebP, responsive sizing, LCP, layout stability, CDN delivery, and verification.

- [Reduce TTFB](/en/guides/reduce-ttfb.md): Learn what TTFB measures, how to isolate DNS, network, CDN, application, and database delays, and which changes reliably reduce server response time.

- [API Protection at the Edge](/en/guides/api-protection-edge.md): Configure provider-neutral API protection at the edge with an inventory, strong authentication, schema validation, quotas, logging, and safe rollout.

- [Protect Your Origin Server](/en/guides/protect-origin-server.md): Learn how to reduce origin exposure with DNS hygiene, gateway-only access, firewall controls, authenticated edge connections, monitoring, and safe testing.

- [Website Resilience](/en/guides/website-resilience.md): Assess whether multi-CDN reduces delivery risk. Design tested failover, consistent edge policy, and recovery objectives.

- [China CDN and ICP](/en/guides/china-cdn-icp-rollout.md): Understand when Mainland China hosting or CDN delivery introduces ICP requirements, how China DNS and Cloudflare China Network work, and how to plan a phased rollout.

- [Unified Incident Timeline](/en/guides/unified-incident-timeline-cdn-waf-dns-origin.md): Correlate CDN, WAF, DNS, bot, DDoS, and origin evidence into a defensible incident timeline with provenance, confidence labels, privacy controls, and an SRE workflow.

- [E-commerce Edge Architecture](/en/guides/ecommerce-edge-architecture.md): Design an ecommerce edge that caches public catalog content safely, keeps account and checkout state private, protects origins, and applies layered bot defense.

- [CDN Cost Optimization](/en/guides/cdn-cost-optimization.md): Model CDN delivery, request, origin, shielding, and observability costs. Measure byte offload and cache fragmentation before changing policy.

- [Media Edge Architecture](/en/guides/media-edge-architecture.md): Design a publisher edge for breaking-news spikes, public caching, paywalls, ad-tech resilience, image delivery, crawler access, and origin protection.

- [Video Streaming at the Edge](/en/guides/video-streaming-at-the-edge.md): A practical guide to HLS and DASH manifests, segment caching, range requests, origin shielding, ABR, entitlement boundaries, QoE observability, and safe rollouts.

- [HTTP/3 and QUIC](/en/guides/http3-quic-production-websites.md): Deploy HTTP/3 and QUIC safely with UDP fallback, TLS 1.3, 0-RTT replay controls, proxy considerations, protocol observability, and production validation.

- [Kubernetes Multi-Region Edge](/en/guides/kubernetes-multi-region-edge.md): Design a Kubernetes multi-region architecture with data consistency, traffic steering, health checks, regional failover rehearsals, and end-to-end latency measurement.

- [Edge Compute Architecture](/en/guides/edge-compute-architecture.md): Design edge compute architecture with provider-neutral edge design: safe cache keys, origin controls, edge state boundaries, observability, and portable patterns.

- [Global Edge Architecture](/en/guides/global-edge-architecture.md): Plan a global edge architecture with safe DNS and traffic steering, cache and origin design, regional failure tradeoffs, observability, and provider-neutral resilience.

- [Deploy Cloudflare Workers](/en/guides/cloudflare-workers-deployment.md): A production Cloudflare Workers deployment workflow, from edge-fit assessment through edge canary rollout, Workers observability, and rollback.

- [Fastly Compute Deployment](/en/guides/fastly-compute-deployment.md): A practical, verified guide to Fastly Compute deployment: reproducible WebAssembly edge packages, explicit service configuration, secret handling, local and staged testing, observability, and a tested Compute rollback path.

- [Fastly Origin Shielding](/en/guides/fastly-origin-shielding.md): Configure Fastly origin shielding safely by choosing a shield near each origin, assigning it per backend, verifying cache-miss behavior, monitoring logs and headers, and retaining a rollback path.
