How PhotonIQ Works
Services that boost web performance, reduce origin traffic, and provide customized visitor treatment
Lightning Fast Digital Journeys
PhotonIQ is powered by the Global Data Network: A hyper distributed cloud designed for ultra-low-latency application delivery.
The critical value of PhotonIQ (fuh-TAWN-ik) is providing AI-driven solutions to accelerate and optimize digital experiences, all while reducing complexity and costs.
PhotonIQ employs advanced optimization techniques like Prerendering, image compression, and edge caching to significantly improve site speed and responsiveness. Services like Fingerprint and Virtual Waiting Rooms allow for granular personalization and prioritization, even for anonymous users, by tracking them across sessions, and devices without cookies.
PhotonIQ's managed solutions can be used together as an end-to-end digital experience, or incorporated into your existing stack. PhotonIQ is compatible with all major CDNs and clouds, providing turnkey capabilities without additional operational overhead.
PhotonIQ helps the largest Internet sites, SaaS, and API services to deliver exceptional performance with low latency for better user experience, and increased monetization for top internet operators and enterprises.
How It Works
PhotonIQ integrates directly with your site's origin infrastructure as a reverse proxy layer, sitting between CDNs and origin points. When visitors access your site, requests are routed through the nearest PoP for processing before reaching your origin servers.
This allows PhotonIQ to apply its suite of services like prerendering pages and optimizing assets on-the-fly without any changes to your infrastructure. Detailed analytics offer insights to maximize performance and personalization.
