EverydaySource.com mentioned that the high speed of their website helps them in meeting their target of 25% year on year increase in page-views. eForCity also leverages CDNetworks for its other Yahoo Stores platform based domains like eForCity.com, iTrimming.com and AccStation.com.

CDNetworks Unleashes its Performance Improvement for China Region

Today (on November 11, 2010), CDNetworks, the highest performing global Content Delivery Network services provider, announced the general availability of its China Acceleration solution to its global clients. This will allow the clients of CDNetworks to market their websites more effectively in mainland China region, thus allowing them to tap the immensely large Chinese market.

In normal situations, the Internet players outside the region face a high latency, with the US websites having a 200-350 millisecond delay and the Europe-based websites facing a 400-600 millisecond delay. This latency can adversely influence the browser-based applications and lead to losses for the e-commerce websites.

The China Acceleration solution effectively combats this latency and according to CDNetworks, its clients who use this service have observed an improvement for 300-1000 percent, thus making this solution extremely important for any global player, who is planning to expand its hold in the Chinese markets.
