What Is a Reverse Proxy CDN?
A reverse proxy sits between your users and your servers, making everything faster and safer. Here's what that means and why it matters for your site and APIs.
Proxy in the middle
A reverse proxy receives every request on behalf of your origin servers. Instead of users connecting directly to your infrastructure, they connect to the nearest edge node, which decides what to serve, cache or block.
Caching for speed
Frequently requested content is stored at the edge, so it's delivered from a node near the user instead of your distant origin. This is how a CDN slashes load times — often to single-digit milliseconds.
Origin shielding
Because users never touch your origin directly, its real address stays hidden. Attacks hit the proxy layer, not your servers, and malicious or bot traffic is filtered before it ever reaches you.
Faster APIs too
It's not just static files. Intelligent routing and edge logic reduce round-trip time for dynamic content and API responses, improving reliability and uptime across the board.
