Proxy Regions

Global Acceleration

cside uses AWS Global Accelerator to ensure scripts are served as fast as possible to your users worldwide. Global Accelerator routes traffic through AWS's global network of edge locations, reducing latency by up to 60% compared to public internet routing.

How it works

When a user's browser requests a script through cside, the request is automatically routed to the nearest AWS edge location, then travels over AWS's optimized private backbone to the closest cside proxy server.

AWS Edge Network

Traffic enters the AWS network at one of 130+ Points of Presence across 95 cities in 53 countries, including:
