Regionalized Generic Tiered Cache for higher hit ratios

You can now achieve higher cache hit ratios with Generic Global Tiered Cache. Regional content hashing routes content consistently to the same upper-tier data centers, eliminating redundant caching and reducing origin load.

How it works

Regional content hashing groups data centers by region and uses consistent hashing to route content to designated upper-tier caches:

  • Same content always routes to the same upper-tier data center within a region.
  • Eliminates redundant copies across multiple upper-tier caches.
  • Increases the likelihood of cache HITs for the same content.

Example

A popular image requested from multiple edge locations in a region:

  • Before: Cached at 3-4 different upper-tier data centers
  • After: Cached at 1 designated upper-tier data center
  • Result: 3-4x fewer cache MISSes, reducing origin load and improving performance

Get started

To get started, enable Generic Global Tiered Cache on your zone.

Easily Exclude EU Visitors from RUM

You can now easily enable Real User Monitoring (RUM) monitoring for your hostnames, while safely dropping requests from visitors in the European Union to comply with GDPR and CCPA.

RUM Enablement UI

Our Web Analytics product has always been centered on giving you insights into your users' experience that you need to provide the best quality experience, without sacrificing user privacy in the process.

To help with that aim, you can now selectively enable RUM monitoring for your hostname and exclude EU visitor data in a single click. If you opt for this option, we will drop all metrics collected by our EU data centers automatically.

You can learn more about what metrics are reported by Web Analytics and how it is collected in the Web Analytics documentation. You can enable Web Analytics on any hostname by going to the Web Analytics section of the dashboard, selecting "Manage Site" for the hostname you want to monitor, and choosing the appropriate enablement option.
