What Types of Services Does CDN Support?

Acceleration configurations for different service types vary. CDN supports the following service types:

• Website acceleration

  CDN is perfect for web portals, e-commerce platforms, information apps, and UGC-focused apps. It can accelerate the delivery of images and small HTML, CSS, and JS files.

• File download acceleration

  CDN is suitable for websites, game clients, and app stores that provide file download services, and download tools. It is used in scenarios such as downloading game installation packages and application packages, and updating the ROM on mobile phones.

• VOD acceleration

  For customers providing on-demand audiovisual services, CDN is a must. Such on-demand services include online education, video sharing, music or video on demand, and other audiovisual content.

• Whole site acceleration

  For websites consisting of both dynamic and static content and have many dynamic resource requests like those for asp., jsp. and php. files, CDN is a good option. However, whole site acceleration cannot be configured on the CDN console. If you have such requirements, submit a service ticket on the Create Service Ticket page.

  For example:

  • If both VOD acceleration and file download acceleration are required, only one service type can be selected for an accelerated domain name. If your website has both VOD acceleration and file download acceleration requirements, you need to create two domain names, one for VOD acceleration and the other for file download acceleration.
