What problem does it solve?
CDN configuration chaos leads to poor cache efficiency, security gaps, and escalating egress costs. This skill provides disciplined practices for cache key design, TTL strategy, origin shielding, purge workflows, private content access via signed URLs, edge image optimization, and robust multi-CDN and edge compute patterns to improve performance and reliability.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cache key explicit design to maximize cache hits while avoiding privacy or personalization leaks.
- TTL and purge strategy guidance including versioned URLs and tag-based purges for eventual consistency.
- Signed URL management, origin shield enablement, TLS termination hardening, and WAF/DDoS considerations.
- Image optimization at edge (AVIF/WebP) and HLS/DASH edge caching strategies.
- Multi-CDN failover planning and RUM-based routing to route traffic to the healthiest origin.
- Edge compute patterns for at-edge logic and experiments (A/B tests), with cost and performance visibility.
- RUM integration and cost dashboards to monitor performance and egress trends.
Quick Start
Run a CDN review on your site to identify misconfigurations and apply recommended caching, security, and failover settings.
