Confirms research findings proving that Limelight outpaces
competitors in accelerating delivery of dynamic web content
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Limelight
Networks (NASDAQ:LLNW), a global leader in digital content delivery,
today announced that ESG
has validated the company’s performance testing against leading
CDNs, confirming that Limelight delivers dynamic content up to 51
percent faster than its key competitors globally. This validation comes
on the heels of real user data
research from Cedexis, which also found that Limelight outperforms
its key competitors.
In its Lab
Validation Report from February 2014, ESG confirmed the results of
benchmark tests that compared the global performance of competing CDNs
when delivering dynamic objects for a well-known online shopping
website. The tests show that Limelight delivers dynamic content
significantly faster than competitors. ESG Lab validated both the
methodology used and the results showing that the Limelight Orchestrate
Performance service was able to cut the average response time in half
for these customers.
The benchmark tests, which were conducted at Limelight Networks Labs,
show the importance of middle-mile optimization technologies in the
rapid delivery of dynamic content. Limelight Networks Labs is a
company-wide center of excellence focused on performance and
operability, as well as prototypes, demos and proofs-of-concept. A copy
of the detailed performance test results can be found here.
In addition to the ESG validation tests, Limelight was recently ranked
number one in performance by Cedexis, who tested five competing web
acceleration products using their end user Radar agent. According to
Cedexis, the Radar data “… comes from the real end users of hundreds of
popular websites and mobile applications. It is the most unbiased source
of data for evaluating Cloud and CDN performance.” According to the report,
Limelight outperformed the competitors respectively:
-
10 percent faster than Edgecast Transact
-
12 percent faster than Edgecast ADN
-
16 percent faster than Akamai DSA
-
21 percent faster than Fastly DSA
“Businesses can not afford to stagger for even a millisecond when it
comes to the performance of their website, as that can cost them
millions of dollars in lost sales over time,” said Limelight Networks
CEO, Bob Lento. “These benchmarks prove just how focused we are on
continuing to innovate around performance enhancements and clearly
demonstrate the impact it has on the livelihood of our customers.”
