Content Delivery Network
Accelerate your websites with PowerWAF CDN. Global edge caching, automatic image optimization, and smart compression — built into your security platform.
Speed and security, delivered together
PowerWAF CDN caches and delivers your content from edge servers worldwide, reducing latency and server load. Unlike standalone CDNs, it works seamlessly with the WAF and DDoS protection — so every request is both fast and secure.
Everything you need to accelerate your website
PowerWAF CDN combines caching, image optimization, compression, and smart delivery into a single integrated platform.
Static Content Caching
Images, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and other static assets are cached at edge servers around the world. Users load content from the server nearest to them, dramatically reducing latency and time to first byte (TTFB).
- Global edge server distribution
- Automatic cache invalidation
- Configurable TTL per content type
Anycast DNS
Users are automatically routed to the nearest edge server using anycast DNS. The same IP address is broadcast from multiple locations, ensuring the fastest possible DNS resolution and content delivery regardless of where your visitors are.
- Automatic nearest-server routing
- Redundant DNS infrastructure
- Ultra-low DNS resolution times
Automatic WebP Conversion
Images are automatically converted to WebP format on the fly when the browser supports it. WebP provides ~30% smaller file sizes compared to JPEG and PNG with no visible quality loss — faster loads with zero effort from your side.
- Transparent browser detection
- No quality degradation
- Automatic fallback for older browsers
On-the-Fly Image Resizing
Serve appropriately sized images for every device and viewport. PowerWAF CDN resizes images on the fly at the edge, so mobile users don't download desktop-sized assets. Reduces bandwidth usage and improves Core Web Vitals scores.
- Device-aware responsive images
- URL-parameter based resizing
- Cached resized variants at the edge
Gzip Compression
All text-based content (HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, XML, SVG) is automatically compressed with gzip before delivery. This significantly reduces transfer sizes and bandwidth consumption, resulting in faster page loads across all connection speeds.
- Automatic content-type detection
- Up to 90% size reduction for text content
- Transparent to end users
JavaScript & CSS Minification
Automatically minify JS and CSS at the edge in real time, achieving 35–65% file size reduction. JS minification removes whitespace, shortens variable names, and consolidates statements. CSS minification optimizes colors, converts to shorthand, and removes redundant units. All optimizations are production-safe.
- Real-time edge processing
- Enable/disable per site from the panel
- License comments preserved
Advanced Cache Control
Full control over caching behavior from the PowerWAF panel. Configure custom TTLs, enable stale-while-revalidate to serve expired content instantly while refreshing in the background, and purge cache selectively by URL pattern or all at once.
- Custom TTL configuration
- Stale-while-revalidate support
- Instant selective or full cache purge
Why use PowerWAF CDN?
Faster Load Times
Edge caching, compression, and optimization work together to dramatically reduce page load times and improve Core Web Vitals.
Lower Bandwidth Costs
Gzip compression, image optimization, and minification reduce data transfer — lowering hosting costs and server load.
Integrated Security
Unlike standalone CDNs, PowerWAF CDN includes WAF, DDoS protection, and bot filtering. Security and performance in one platform.
Mobile Optimized
On-the-fly image resizing and WebP conversion ensure mobile users get appropriately sized assets without wasting bandwidth.
Better SEO Rankings
Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. Faster sites with better Core Web Vitals score higher in search results.
Zero Configuration
CDN is enabled automatically when you add your site to PowerWAF. No code changes, no plugin installs — just faster delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CDN and why do I need one?
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) caches your website's content on servers located around the world. When a visitor requests your site, content is served from the nearest server instead of your origin — reducing latency, improving load times, and lowering server load.
How do I enable the CDN?
The CDN is enabled automatically when you add your domain to PowerWAF and point your DNS. Static content caching, gzip compression, and security features start working immediately with no additional configuration needed.
Will WebP conversion break my images for older browsers?
No. PowerWAF detects the browser's capabilities automatically. WebP images are served only to browsers that support the format. Older browsers receive the original JPEG or PNG version, ensuring compatibility for all visitors.
How do I clear the cache when I update my site?
You can purge the cache from the PowerWAF panel — either selectively by URL pattern or all at once. You can also configure cache TTLs and use stale-while-revalidate to balance freshness with performance.
Does the CDN cache dynamic content?
PowerWAF supports both static and dynamic caching. Static assets are cached by default. Dynamic content caching is available on Starter plans and above, with configurable rules to control what gets cached and for how long.
Is CDN included in all plans?
Yes. All PowerWAF plans include CDN with static caching, gzip compression, anycast DNS, and image optimization. Higher plans unlock dynamic caching, more cache items, and advanced cache control features.
