To Speed Up The Web, EdgeCast Has Added Google PageSpeed Technology To Its CDN

EdgeCast Networks has quietly emerged as a major competitor in the content delivery network (CDN) market, signing up big ISPs as partners and giving industry heavyweights Akamai and Limelight a run for their money. Well now, EdgeCast is working to make its customers' page loading times faster than ever, by integrating Google's PageSpeed front-end optimization technology into its CDN. PageSpeed works by taking a look at static web pages and implementing a number of different optimizations to ensure the best possible performance when they're sent over the web. According to Edgecast president James Segil, that includes stuff like HTML optimization, autocompressing media that was sent uncompressed, combining JavaScripts, and domain sharding, all of which is used to speed up load times in the browser.
