TrafficGate

Save your origin for the traffic that matters

Your users expect every page, app, and download to feel fast wherever they are. Keep performance steady as traffic grows, spikes hit, and every extra request puts more pressure on your origin.

Your origin is working for
traffic you never wanted

Traffic does not need to be malicious to cost you. Bots, repeated requests, and expensive endpoints
can consume capacity, increase backend work, and leave less room for real demand.

— AUTOMATED DEMAND

Automation competes with your users

Bots, scrapers, and AI crawlers consume connections, compute, and application resources that should stay available for your customers.

— BACKEND WORK

Some requests cost more to serve

Search, login, checkout, reporting, manifests, and APIs can trigger significantly more backend work than serving a cached page or file.

— BLUNT CONTROLS

Broad rules catch the wrong traffic

Country blocks, IP lists, and global rate limits can stop legitimate users, search engines, monitoring tools, and integrations along with unwanted requests.

See the traffic. Decide what gets through.

TrafficGate gives you the context and controls to act before unwanted or excessive HTTP traffic consumes origin capacity.

OBSERVE

01

See what consumes resources

Review traffic sources, bots, request patterns, and resource usage before deciding what needs to change.

DECIDE

02

Choose what deserves access

Set the right treatment based on geography, source reputation, bot type, request path, and traffic rate.

CONTROL

03

Shape how much gets through

Apply access policies and rate limits at the edge before unwanted or excessive traffic consumes origin capacity.

Keep more capacity available for real demand

Keep your resources focused on the users, services, and automation that create value.

keep_capacity_ready_for_real_demand

Preserve origin headroom

Reduce the unnecessary connections, compute, and application work caused by unwanted or excessive requests.

Keep_valuable_traffic_moving

Keep valuable traffic moving

Protect room for users and useful services when automation or sudden demand puts pressure on your origin.

choose_which_bots_get_through

Avoid blocking too broadly

Apply focused policies without treating every user, bot, region, and endpoint the same way, so valuable traffic keeps moving.

Set_limits_without_overblocking.

Control content distribution

Decide where content can be served based on your commercial, operational, and distribution requirements.

Serve_content_on_your_terms

Pay only for clean traffic

Only clean requests that reach your origin are billed. L7 DDoS and unwanted traffic stopped by TrafficGate are not.

ONE PATH FOR DELIVERY AND CONTROL

Deliver content.
Control the traffic.

Gcore CDN delivers your content at the edge. TrafficGate adds access and rate controls to the same traffic flow, stopping or limiting unwanted requests before they consume origin capacity.

  • One path for delivery and traffic control
  • Apply policies before requests reach your origin
  • Keep traffic rules out of your application

Control traffic with the right context

Apply the right policy by geography, source, bot type, traffic rate, and endpoint.

Frequently asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Traffic Gate.

Getting Started
TrafficGate is a CDN‑native traffic control product. It decides in real time what gets served, limited, or stopped at the edge, combining traffic intelligence, access control, bot control, surge control, and traffic policies in one package.
TrafficGate decides whether traffic should reach your origin at all, by volume, source, and behavior. Gcore WAAP inspects the content of the requests that do get through, to catch OWASP‑class attacks against your applications and APIs. DevOps/SRE teams may start with TrafficGate and add WAAP when application‑layer risk becomes the priority.
TrafficGate works with Gcore CDN so traffic decisions can happen within the delivery flow before unwanted requests reach your origin.
Usage‑based, billed only on the clean requests that reach your origin. Your bill scales with real demand, not with attack or bot volume — talk to sales for a plan matched to your traffic pattern.
Capabilities and product fit
Bot Control is one of TrafficGate's five capabilities. Behavioral detection, known bot identification, and user‑agent checks separate useful bots and AI crawlers from harmful automation.
TrafficGate automatically absorbs L7 DDoS traffic at the edge, and that attack traffic isn't billed. If you need more granular, rule‑based traffic control, that level of flexibility is available with WAAP.
No. TrafficGate doesn't inspect request content for OWASP, API, or LLM Top‑10 vulnerabilities — that protection lives in Gcore WAAP. TrafficGate controls who and how much traffic reaches your origin.
No. TrafficGate uses traffic and reputation signals to support policy decisions. Custom authentication, entitlement, or monetization logic runs on Gcore FastEdge.
