Source Schilding
We are discontinuing support for the Akamai provider. Creating new Akamai CDN resources is not available, existing Akamai resources will cease to function and will be deleted on May 1, 2025. We recommend switching to a Selectel provider now to avoid website outages. To connect Selectel CDN, please use the instructions in the following section Connect CDN.
Shielding reduces the load on the source server by reducing the number of requests from CDN servers. The option is available only for Selectel CDN resources.
Principle of operation
If shilding is enabled for a source, requests do not go directly to the source, but are accumulated on an intermediate shilding server. The shilding server caches content from the source and delivers it to CDN servers. The source is only accessed if the file is not in the shilding server's cache.
Cost
The cost of source shilding for one resource is 5,000 ₽ per month. To pay for the service, depending on the type of balance in the account, the following is used single balance or storage and CDN balance. When ordering the service the payment for the first period is deducted from the balance, further payments are deducted automatically on the first day of each month.
Enable source shilding
The default connection is a shilding server located in Moscow (MMTS-9). If you need a shilding server in another region, create a ticket without ordering the service in the control panel. In the ticket, specify the name of the CDN-resource and the required one region.
