At FatLab, we know that fast load times are critical to the success of any website.
We currently offer our clients some of the best technology, including a Content Delivery Network (CDN), server caching, and high-frequency servers.
We are always seeking new ways to improve the performance of our client's websites, which is why we are excited to introduce Full Page Edge Caching.
Using this cutting-edge technology, we can cache content closer to the user, which means faster load times, no matter where the user is.
Our team is confident that this new feature will give our clients a significant advantage and help them stay ahead of their competition.
What is a CDN
We have been proud to offer our hosting clients a top-of-the-line content delivery network (CDN) for years.
Our CDN has proven to be an effective solution for caching static content, such as images, style sheets, and JavaScript files, which consume the most bandwidth and cause the most slowdowns when loading a website.
Our CDN service has optimized servers placed worldwide, which helps improve the delivery speed of these assets. As a result, our client's websites become faster and more responsive, leading to a better user experience.
Full Page Edge Caching
The internet is a constantly changing landscape, and as technology advances, new options become available for improving website speed and performance.
For years, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) was limited to static file assets like images and style sheets, but today we can utilize a CDN for entire web pages.
By generating the HTML that produces the web page once and then storing that code on global CDN servers, we can take advantage of a network optimized for speed.
This means that not only can website visitors access your website faster, but they can also navigate it with ease.
This new development is an exciting advancement for website owners and an excellent opportunity to improve user experience globally.
Full Page Edge Caching Is a Game Changer
Edge page caching is a game-changing technology that offers a significant performance boost compared to partial caching.
While partial caching stores only a fraction of the content on your webpage, such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript, Edge caching caches the entire page, resulting in faster load times.
66% Faster Load Times
According to our tests, the difference is significant, with Edge caching resulting in an average 66% faster load time.
This means visitors to your site will have a much better user experience, which translates to increased engagement and possibly even conversions.
With Edge caching, you can take your website performance to the next level and stay ahead of the competition.
Increased Redundancy & Reduced Origin Server Load
Edge page caching also greatly reduces the load on the original server, allowing it to run smoothly, remain stable, and be available for unplanned traffic events.
By utilizing the CDN network to deliver the full website, it increases availability and redundancy by allowing cached content to be served directly from edge servers if, for any reason, the origin server is unavailable.
With edge page caching, your website can handle more traffic without slowing down, which means your website can simultaneously serve more users without losing speed.
Technology Provided Through Cloudflare
Through our infrastructure partners, we offer our clients the cutting-edge technology of Cloudflare Enterprise CDN and its dynamic full-page caching functionality.
Cloudflare is trusted worldwide for its proven record of providing secure and optimized content delivery.
With over 275 global CDN servers, Cloudflare guarantees its customers superior delivery speed and reliability.
By offering our clients such a powerful tool, we are confident in our ability to provide unparalleled service, ensuring a seamless experience for their users.
Argo Smart Routing
When visitors access your website, their computer sends a request to the server hosting your site.
However, a CDN like Cloudflare can expedite this process by routing requests through its edge server and checking its cache for the requested content.
Despite full-page caching, dynamic content may still require a request from the origin server.
Cloudflare's impressive scale of service makes them uniquely qualified to detect internet congestion and traffic issues in real-time, thanks to their wide usage among Fortune 1000 companies and handling an average of 18 million HTTPS requests per second.
This is where Argo Smart routing shines. By leveraging this capability, your users can enjoy lightning-fast load times by being automatically directed through the best routes to maximize speed.
Rollout to Clients
As we roll out these services to our clients over the next month, we are committed to ensuring that every client receives a top-of-the-line online experience.
We understand there may be certain circumstances where a website or a portion of a website should not utilize the described technologies.
We want to assure all current and new clients that we will consider these potential scenarios carefully as we make this transition.
Our team is confident in the quality and benefits of these services, and we are excited for our clients to experience the full scope of our offerings.
