More PoPs = Faster Delivery
While our legacy MaxCDN services had great performance, StackPath CDN is powered by 73 PoPs around the world. That means content is cached close to more of your end-users than before.
Compared to our legacy MaxCDN service, StackPath CDN gives you better cache control. With high-capacity SSDs and advanced caching techniques, you get industry-leading cache depth to make more content available longer at the edge. And with Instant Purge, when you delete content from our CDN (whether through the customer portal or via API), it immediately is no longer served via StackPath, anywhere.
