    In my experience, the web application firewall product most cdn’s offer is typically more valuable. Even then, only for transactional web pages.

      Depends on the content. My employers sites are a good mix of images, static, and dynamic content, and we rely heavily on Akamai. Their caching of our images offloads a huge amount of work from our origins. We also use their Image Manager tool to optimize a lot of the images seamlessly, which adds further optimization. Their WAF and other security tools are also very impressive.

        I’m familiar with their suite… Image Manager does offload a great deal. The real powerful offering they have is API security.
