Map network dependencies
DNS records, destinations and hostname dependencies are reviewed together. Changes account for web, email and connected services.
CDN, DNS & edge caching
DNS, CDN and caching rules tailored to your website. Clear boundaries between cacheable content and requests that must reach the application.
Let’s discuss your projectTHE CHALLENGE
Closer to your users.
Control at the edge.
Broad cache rules can serve outdated content or affect private pages. Incorrect DNS records and inconsistent HTTPS can break journeys before the application responds.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
A clear scope.
A clear handover.
We map domains, subdomains and routes. Cache rules include tested exclusions for login, carts, checkout and user-specific data. Origin connectivity is verified alongside publication and cache-purge workflows.
- DNS zone and subdomain review
- CDN and origin connection
- HTTPS and redirect rules
- Content-specific cache policies
- Account and checkout exclusions
- Cache-header checks and purge workflow
FROM PLAN TO PRACTICE
The right decisions.
At every stage.
Separate public and private content
We examine headers, cookies and sessions. Signed-in and anonymous journeys are tested, particularly carts, accounts and APIs returning personal data.
Make caching follow publishing
Cache lifetimes and purge procedures cover changed products, pages and assets. Diagnostic checks help distinguish edge behaviour from origin problems.
HOW WE CHECK THE RESULT
Working is the start.
It has to work for you.
We test anonymous and signed-in visitors, including agreed exclusions for carts, accounts and transactions. We check that publishing presents the correct content and DNS changes do not disrupt unrelated services. Handover includes rules, purge procedures and a return path, with clear responsibilities between the network provider and your application’s origin server.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Answers.
Clear from the start.
What working together involves, and what you need to know before we begin.
Does a CDN replace hosting?
The application and dynamic data remain on the origin. The CDN adds a distribution and rules layer in front of the infrastructure.
Could a cart be cached?
Private and transactional routes receive tested exclusions based on application behaviour, cookies and provider capabilities.
How do our corrections appear promptly when caching is enabled?
We connect publishing to appropriate expiry or targeted purging where supported. Article, price and availability changes are tested as relevant to the application. The strategy avoids stale content as well as unnecessary full purges that send avoidable work back to your infrastructure.
How are cost and timeline determined?
Scope, the state of your existing platform, dependencies and required checks. Before work begins, a specific proposal records deliverables, prerequisites and approval stages. Software licences, third-party charges and recurring services are separated so you understand what the engagement includes and what affects a later change.
What support will we have after handover?
We hand over the documentation and instructions included in the agreed scope. Responsibilities for daily operation, issue reporting and future requirements are defined. Ongoing support, updates and monitoring have an explicit, separately agreed scope rather than relying on an assumption that someone will take care of them.
