F5 Distributed Cloud CDN

F5 Distributed Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) provides secure acceleration for web apps and APIs with a global network.

High-Performance Content Delivery via the F5 Global Network

Instant performance gains for your applications

Enhance your user experience with fast content delivery for web applications and APIs using the F5 Global Network and intelligent traffic steering.

  • Global Network Backbone - Accelerate content delivery through a high-capacity, high-performance global private network for reduced latency and improved reliability.
  • Multicloud Traffic Steering - Enhance availability with integrated DNS and load-balancing services that intelligently route traffic across origin servers in public or private clouds.
  • Secure Load Balancing - Optimize traffic distribution across multiple origin servers with built-in DDoS protection and anycast network technology.
Modern digital experiences
Easily scale at the edge

Decrease bandwidth and infrastructure costs with smart caching

Lower your bandwidth expenses by reducing costly egress and origin fetches. Optimize cache efficiency, intelligently storing dynamically generated content while ensuring content accuracy. This minimizes trips to the origin, decreases data transfer costs, and maximizes savings—delivering a faster, more cost-effective experience.

  • Origin Offload - Minimize infrastructure expenses by efficiently handling content requests at the edge, reducing origin server load and operational costs.
  • Bandwidth Optimization - Cut data transfer costs through intelligent compression, image optimization, and efficient delivery of modern content formats.
  • Smart Content Analysis - Automatically identify and prioritize cacheable content based on usage patterns to maximize hit rates and cost savings.

Extend the reach of your apps and APIs with a global CDN

Ensure faster load times and a better user experience with F5 Global Network points of presence (PoPs) across four continents to intelligently cache content closer to users, optimize user requests, and improve performance.

  • Global Points of Presence - Reduce latency by caching content across strategic locations, ensuring users access content from the nearest network node.
  • Intelligent Caching - Optimize performance with configurable caching policies that respect origin directives, supporting content from static assets to video streaming.
  • Edge-Based Processing - Accelerate response times by running lightweight applications at the edge to process critical data without long-haul transfers to data centers.
Secure apps everywhere
