Reduce website loading times and save bandwidth. Improve web performance with global content delivery, robust security, and intelligent caching for a better user experience.
European cloud & hosting alternative based in France.
OVHcloud CDN accelerates web content delivery through anycast-routed points of presence and built-in anti-DDoS protection — caching static assets at the edge so requests are served from the PoP closest to each visitor. Sites and APIs hosted on OVHcloud web hosting, VPS, or dedicated servers gain faster page loads, lower origin traffic, and absorbed traffic spikes without rearchitecting.
The service uses IP Anycast to route each request to the nearest edge location, drawing from points of presence in Gravelines and Strasbourg in France and Beauharnois in Canada. Caching rules, cache invalidation, and HTTPS are managed from the OVHcloud control panel, with anti-DDoS mitigation included by default across every OVHcloud service.
Key benefits:
- Anycast routing sends users to the nearest PoP for lowest latency
- Edge caching reduces origin load and accelerates static asset delivery
- Anti-DDoS protection absorbs volumetric attacks at the network edge
- HTTPS at the edge with managed SSL certificates on cached hostnames
- Cache invalidation on demand through the OVHcloud Control Panel
- Integrated pricing bundled with OVHcloud web hosting and server products
