Easel CDN overview

Easel Content Delivery Network (CDN) is the edge network in front of every deployment. It terminates HTTPS, applies security rules, caches responses when your headers allow it, compresses eligible content, and routes traffic to your deployment.

You do not enable Easel CDN separately. Preview URLs, production URLs, and custom domains all use it automatically.

What you can configure

• Caching: control how long responses stay at the edge with standard cache headers
• Revalidation: expire CDN, Runtime Cache, and framework page caches on demand
• System headers: use platform response headers for request identity, cache status, and firewall decisions
• Compression: understand when Easel compresses responses with Brotli or gzip
• Encryption: HTTPS, automatic certificates, and custom domains
