FREE CDN Premium CDN Edge Server network 40% of consumers will leave a website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. Obvi8 is proven to boost website load times wherever your traffic comes from. Faster websites convert more customers. Our CDN provides the speed boost you need to increase your sales. Obvi8CDN is free for all our customers. We don’t throttle your bandwidth and there are no usage limits. Website speed is a key factor for Google and their core web vitals. Our CDN will help boost your rankings. Enterprise level security technology and advanced configuration management to keep your websites secure. A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is all about making a website load faster for all users, wherever they are in the world. This is done by storing (caching) copies of your website on servers at the network edge. For example, if your website is hosted at a UK data centre, there might be a delay if you try to access that site from the USA. So a copy of your website is stored on a server closer to the user, called a Point of Presence (POP). Multiple copies of your site’s data is stored at different POPs throughout the world, so your site will load faster in remote places. Your users will navigate your site more efficiently, wherever they are. While it’s good for users, the 8CDN has other advantages. Search engines love fast-loading sites so there’s an SEO benefit to having a CDN. A CDN is essential if you want your business or side hustle to have an international market. Our free CDN offers the same edge caching features as paid CDNs from providers like Cloudflare. While it has one-click activation, we give advanced users the option of development mode, and dynamic/custom cache settings: the freedom to experiment. You can purge the cache in a click to make instant updates. Nuisance visitors can be blocked by IP address or country. Stay on top of site performance and monitor for problems with our comprehensive CDN statistics. Users get raw data on 8CDN activity, presented in charts. So, you can make informed decisions on traffic trends and monitor for issues following site changes. Our global network will edge-cache full pages close to where the user is based. Our caching integrates seamlessly with WordPress – no plugins required – as well as any other software that sets public cache control headers. So it works on any website. Our CDN makes use of the same internet exchange points (neutral data centres) used by AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and many other leading tech companies. Whatever your business or project, you’ll get enterprise-level connectivity with the CDN. Improve the reliability and uptime of your website, wherever your user is based. As your site is served from data centers close to them, there are fewer ‘hops’ in the network. The internet service provider only needs to route the user to our nearest POP, reducing service delivery times. If your website is bloated, it may load slowly even if you are on a fast hosting. Our Website Acceleration Suite slims-down the data payload of your site, without affecting its appearance or function. Slow-loading images are the bane of website performance. Our image CDN will scan your images and resize them for the appropriate size for mobile and desktop. ‘Raw’ images often contain information that can be removed or compressed without a visible loss in quality. Our CDN compresses your images ‘on the fly’, saving you time. Our image optimisation tools will convert files to fast-loading next-gen image formats like JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP. Give your site a performance boost on mobile and desktop with a single click. A simple risk-free solution that will give you better PageSpeed scores. We can minify and strip whitespace from our code. Our CDN will compress HTML, CSS and JavaScript files to reduce time spent parsing, compiling and executing it. Network payload is reduced, so sites load faster. Only load what’s going to be presented to the user immediately: what’s going to be seen first. Your above-the-fold content will appear in a browser more quickly by deferring off-screen images or other non-critical resources. While a fast-loading site on a desktop is important, mobile devices are the most common way to access the web. Mobile networks are slower, and phones are less powerful than desktops – so a site that’s fast on a desktop machine can crawl on a phone. This can impact your bottom line: when page load time increases from 1 second to 5 seconds, the probability of a user abandoning your page rises by 90% (Google). People are impatient and unwilling to wait for a slow web page. Latency costs you money, so that’s where a CDN and Website Acceleration Suite can help. Our free CDN reduces latency through its edge caching and optimises your website content for snappy, responsive page loads. Google’s messaging about site speed couldn’t be more clear: fast sites rank higher, and slow sites may receive a penalty. Site speed has become increasingly important to ranking on all search engines’ results pages. A search engine wants to be popular. It can only achieve that by giving users results that satisfy them. If you click a link that doesn’t load quickly, you’re more likely to return to the search results and try an alternative. That alternative might be a competitor, and the search engine could rank that competitor higher next time. So you could lose ranking, as well as a sale. Our CDN and website optimisation tools will help shave off those all-important seconds from load time – improving its SEO performance wherever your customers are in the world. Some of us are lucky enough to live in locations where the cost of data is low. But it’s not the same everywhere. If your market is global you should consider this. In some places, a smartphone is the only portal to the internet for most people and data can be expensive. Understandably, mobile users are reluctant to stay on sluggish, data-hungry websites. Our optimisations will help to make your site load quickly on slow networks and low-spec devices, keeping users engaged. Data also has a cost to the environment: larger downloads and long-distance data transfers consume more energy and produce CO2. Reducing the payload of your website lessens its overall carbon footprint. So by using the 8CDN, you can limit harm to the planet too. Every website is different, so the 8CDN gives you control over every feature, directly from our control panels. For example, as well as global edge caching, you can control whether images, CSS and JavaScript are cached independently. Our Website Acceleration Suite includes over 40 different ways to improve your website’s speed. You can save performance settings as templates and apply that template to any other website in your account. Not your thing? If you want a quick fix, then select our tried-and-tested preset ‘One-click Optimisation’ to get your site loading at lightning speed straight away – it’s up to you. It’s a one-click speed boost. For advanced users who have launched their websites using the Obvi8 hosting platform, you also have the option to toggle on and off, tweak, and optimize freely according to your needs.
