A Content Delivery Network is what makes a website load faster for users regardless of wherever they are in the world.
This is made possible by caching(storing) copies of your websites on servers at the network edge. If for example your site is hosted at a USA data center, there might be a delay if you try to access that website from the UK. So a cache of your website is stored on a server to the user. This process is called a Point of Presence.
Copies of your website’s data is stored at different POPs all over the world to ensure that your site loads faster in remote places. Wherever your users are, they will navigate your website more effectively.
Even though it is good for users, it also helps your site in other ways. Search engines especially Google love fast-loading websites so there is a SEO benefit to having a CDN.
Our CDN provides the same premium caching features as that of Paid CDN providers.
It has a 1-click activation but we also give advancer users the option to use development mode . They have the total freedom to experiment.
The cache can be purged in one click to make instant updates. Annoying visitors can also be blocked by IP country or address.
Our comprehensive set of statistics enables you to stay on top of site performance and monitor your site for problems. You will get the raw data on on your site CDN activities , which is usually represented in charts.
The same network as the web giants
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. So EgacWeb customers get access to enterprise-level connectivity.
Fast loading websites anywhere
Our global network will edge-cache full pages close to where the user is based. It works with our StackCache WordPress module – no plugins required – as well as any other software that sets public cache control headers. So it works for any site: Linux, Windows or WordPress.
Reliability and uptime
Improve reliability and uptime of your website, wherever your user is based. As your site is served from data centres 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 the potential number of problems on the journey.

Our image optimisation tools will convert files to fast-loading next-gen image formats like JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP.
