Monitor CDN performance
CDNs make it possible to quickly deliver content to users distributed around the world. That also means that CDN’s are also distributed, which can leads to outages, slow-downs, and errors in specific areas. CDN monitoring provides insight into how this critical piece of your application delivery chain is performing.
Why Catchpoint
CDN misconfigurations and issues can impact your application performance and end user experience. Ensure optimal performance with CDN monitoring.

"We use Catchpoint in two ways: backbone nodes give us a big-picture view of the network, and last-mile nodes are critical to giving us an idea of what users are actually experiencing.”
How it works
Content delivery networks (CDNs) have become a necessity for companies to deliver content quickly to end users around the world. Using a CDN to extend your infrastructure improves the end user experience, but it also comes with a loss of control. Take back control with CDN monitoring and gain visibility into regional performance problems, network routing issues, and overall vendor performance. With Catchpoint’s global node network spanning backbone, broadband, cloud, last mile, and wireless nodes you can get a true picture of your CDN’s performance in comparison to your origin. CDN monitoring enables you to share information with your CDN provider to quickly resolve issues and ensure you are receiving the level of service promised.
