Edge Security Acceleration:Speed and network

Last Updated:Jan 27, 2026

Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) offers two ways to optimize website performance: speed optimization and network optimization. Speed optimization focuses on image transformation, file compression, and protocol optimization. Network optimization improves website performance for various scenarios by supporting IPv6 access, WebSocket connections, gRPC connections, and file upload limits.

Description

Speed monitoring

Webpage monitoring

Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) page monitoring feature collects data from real users accessing websites on PC and mobile devices by integrating JavaScript, either automatically or manually. It tracks key performance metrics in real time, analyzes HTML pages, and provides green, yellow, or red performance grades.

Adaptive performance optimization

ESA Speed Monitor provides the Adaptive Optimizer feature that dynamically insert anonymous JavaScript scripts into specific error pages and CAPTCHA pages to collect client-side performance data and transmit the collected data to data centers for processing and analysis.

Speed optimization

Image transformation

Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) provides an image transformation feature. You can use this feature to transform the format and quality of images from your origin server, and also crop, scale, and cache them. This process speeds up image retrieval and reduces origin traffic.

Resource compression

ESA compresses static resources to reduce data transfer sizes and improve page load speeds.

Protocol optimization

If you enable the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) feature and correctly configure the required certificate for your website, Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) automatically turns on the HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (QUIC) switches to allow you to use the HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocols.

Network optimization

Network optimization

Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) provides features for network access and origin fetch optimization, IPv6 support, WebSocket and gRPC connections, and maximum upload size settings. This topic describes how to configure these features.
