Broadcasters or content owners need partners who streamline their workflows, technology that empowers personalization, and solutions that increase profitability. Here are some things to keep in mind.

Demand for video streaming, gaming, telehealth, real-time inferencing, and other applications has skyrocketed. Computing at the “CDN Edge” can provide enterprises with a high-performing, reliable, low-latency solution that is just 10-25 ms away from internet users in major U.S. metros.

CDNs and hosting solutions have evolved over the years to become much more than just infrastructure for storing website assets. Many modern application delivery networks now offer additional features to boost developer productivity and simplify the process of deploying, previewing, experimenting on, monitoring, and running a modern frontend or single-page application.

When developers choose a framework to use in their projects, they tend to focus on traits such as popularity, documentation, talent availability or community. While these considerations are important, we know that in the case of modern frontends, such as eCommerce Single-Page Applications (SPAs), the focus is on the user experience. And website speed is a fundamental element of that.

Ensuring sub-second load times for your eCommerce site is hard work. At Layer0, we've tried to make it a much simpler process, and Layer0 is here to help you achieve this milestone. What we've done here is to create a checklist which you can follow to ensure that your production site is blazingly fast, and you spend the least amount of time accomplishing it.

All major websites from Amazon to Zara—and a ton of others in between—use CDNs to ensure reliable, speedy delivery of their content to users.

CDNs are by no means new technology, yet have recently seen a lift in popularity due to the growing push to make image-rich, dynamic websites faster.

While the internet has gone from dial-up connection to 5g speeds, page loads on mobile have increased. Optimizing for milliseconds can make eCommerce websites millions of dollars. Here’s how and why to deliver sub-second page loads.

Rather than only hosting your static content like a traditional CDN, Layer0 lets you maximize your cache hit ratios for dynamic content and provides other technologies which further improve the performance of your website.
