Global CDN for E-commerce and Retail

Key benefits

Speed up your online store

Your website will load quickly, even if it contains a lot of hi-res product images and heavy videos.

Don't worry about website availability

Our edge network makes your website resilient against DDoS attacks and unforeseen traffic spikes during sales.

Become a safe space for your customer

With built-in SSL/TLS encryption and various web security mechanisms in place you can secure users' credentials and payment transactions.

Website acceleration as a service

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a system of globally distributed servers that cache the content of your website and speed up website loading time. By having a Gcore CDN as a part of your web architecture, you can significantly accelerate your website loading, improve its availability, and secure user credentials from unauthorized access.

Stay available during traffic surges

Accidental traffic surge during online sales can overload your origin server and make your website unavailable for some users. Such incidents will create a bad user experience, lose revenue, and have long-term consequences for customer loyalty. Gcore CDN secures your web infrastructure with a 200+ Tbps network capacity coming from hundreds of globally distributed edge servers.

This was the case when the previously announced PS5 online sale caused a 30% burst in traffic for the online retailer. At the peak of that morning sale, we had 1.46 Gbps, when the normal traffic range during the day was about 0.9-1.1 Gbps.

Prevent unauthorized access to user data

With SSL/TLS encryption, you will have the secure, risk-free transactions you need to ensure customer loyalty. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) prevents unauthorized access and removes vulnerabilities at the application layer.
