Edge Security Acceleration:Speed and network overview

Last Updated:Feb 28, 2026

Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) provides speed and network features that help you monitor, optimize, and extend your website's performance and connectivity. Speed features cover performance monitoring, content optimization, and modern protocol support. Network features provide IPv6 access, WebSocket and gRPC connections, and upload size controls.

Speed monitoring

Measure your website's real-world performance before applying optimizations.

  • Page monitoring -- Collects performance data from real users on PC and mobile devices by integrating JavaScript, either automatically or manually. Tracks key performance metrics in real time, analyzes HTML pages, and provides green, yellow, or red performance grades.

  • Adaptive Optimizer -- Dynamically inserts anonymous JavaScript scripts into specific error pages and CAPTCHA pages to collect client-side performance data. The collected data is transmitted to data centers for processing and analysis.

Content optimization

Reduce payload sizes and speed up content delivery.

  • Image Transformations -- Transforms the format, quality, and dimensions of images from your origin server. Supports cropping, scaling, and caching to speed up retrieval and reduce origin traffic.

  • Resource compression -- Compresses static resources to reduce data transfer sizes and improve page load speeds.

Protocol optimization

Enable modern protocols for faster and more efficient connections.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (QUIC) -- When you enable SSL/TLS and configure the required certificate for your website, ESA automatically turns on HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (QUIC) to allow your site to use these protocols.

Network optimization

Extend connectivity and support additional access methods.

  • Network optimization -- Provides features for network access and origin fetch optimization, including IPv6 support, WebSocket connections, gRPC connections, and maximum upload size settings.

Plan comparison

The following table shows which speed and network features are available on each ESA plan.

How to read this table: Numeric values indicate feature-specific limits (for example, the number of monitoring rules you can create). "Supported" means the feature is available with no plan-specific limit. "Not supported" means the feature is unavailable on that plan.
