KeyCDN Launches Country Based Caching

KeyCDN supports now country code based caching of your assets. Our edge servers derive the two-letter country code from the client IP address, that code is used for the cache key and forwarded to the origin server. Each time the client comes from a different country creates a dedicated cache entry. Why is country based caching useful? This is especially useful if your website should provide different content for countries, such as legal disclaimers.

Signing Image Processing

Signing Image Processing requests is an efficient way to ensure that no unwanted image operation can be executed. Every request needs a valid token in order to be delivered. Secure Token and Image Processing is a powerful setup to transform and deliver images in a secure way. If watermark images are signed correctly, the original base image cannot be accessed anymore. Further, we've extended the existing Secure Token feature with the option to add an IP address.

Canonicalization Explained

Canonicalization can be defined as, "A process for converting data that has more than one possible representation into one standard and approved format." What that means is that every resource on a given website should have a single URL (Uniform Resource Locator) rather than multiple URLs hosting identical content. When websites have more than one URL, they rank lower in search engines and their content may not be as accessible or as popular as it otherwise could be.
