Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) allows you to manage websites efficiently. You can add, delete, or view website details. When adding your primary domain to ESA for the first time or migrating from a traditional CDN, you can also add all related subdomains at once. This centralizes management and allows you to configure DNS settings, caching policies, and security rules in bulk, improving operational efficiency.
