Features

The module utilises a number of features of Fastly's services. This section will provide a brief overview of the ones available in the Fastly_Cdn module.

Geo IP Detection: Using the client's IP this allows a regional store to be delivered to the user.

Serving Stale on Errors: This allows an expired copy of content to be used in case of errors on the origin. This prevents site outages being visible to users.

Serving Stale while Revalidating: This allows an expired copy of content to be served while the content is refreshed from origin. This maintains performance while keeping a fresh cache.

Soft Purging: This marks content as expired (before the TTL). Using this means that content can be freshened actively while using stale content to users for a fast site.

N.B. More in-depth explanations of these features can be found in Fastly's Documentation.
