Even our protection has protection. Origin Shield uses advanced load balancing to equally distribute load and provide dynamic failover. If there are network connectivity issues, requests are automatically rerouted to another edge location
Origins are all around the world, so our Origin Shield is too. Rather than on a separate network, our Origin Shield runs in all global StackPath PoPs, allowing StackPath to use any of our locations for your Shield to create the most direct path to your origin and optimizing your bandwidth
Premium performance doesn’t come at a premium. Origin Shield is available with every CDN package at no additional charge. At StackPath, we protect you from threats and poor performance
Whether you provision fresh content regularly or have large files that require occasional cache purge, Origin Shield lets you handle request spikes gracefully
If you reset your cache or publish new content on your origin every request for content from every edge location gets sent to your origin. This can quickly overload it
Multiple edge requests for uncached content get sent to the Origin Shield, where they are aggregated into a single origin request. And then the content is cached at the shield and further distributed to the requesting edge locations
