Offered by GoogleCDNService "Google Cloud CDN"Although it is currently in beta version, showing the world's fastest performance in CDN despite the fact that CDN and cloud service performance is measured"Speedchecker"It was clarified by the investigation.

Google CDN Beta is here ... and it's already one of the fastest CDNs out there! - blog.speedchecker.xyz

A few months ago, Google launched the alpha version of its own CDN service "Google Cloud CDN". Speedchecker, which focused on the growth of the beta version of the service in 2016, said that he discussed "How does Google Cloud CDN fit the CDN market?" And, Google's dedicated cache server "Google Global Cache"To compare the transfer situation of other CDN such as Cloudfront · Level 3 · Akamai · Fastly · MaxCDN and the site using Google's backbone network for content transfer by participating in the Google Cloud CDN partner program That's right. As a result, it became clear that using the Google Cloud CDN not only allows faster data caching, but also provides the top level transfer speed of the content.

"Google Cloud CDN" is designed to be slightly different from other CDNs, so that not only static contents but also caches of more than 50 elements of the entire site are stored at the same time. This is a new approach for CDN, and it is a caching method of advanced data rather than the current method. This new data caching method,Load balancingIt is integrated directly into the function.


Speedchecker uses its own analysis tool "Cloudperf" and compares the performance of Google Cloud CDN and other CDNs. In comparison, CloudPerf measures the time it takes for Chrome to display the entire 100 KB webpage that Speedchecker created independently, and measures the performance of each CDN. In addition, when testing the PCcold startIt is said that conditions are aligned by making it.

The following graphs build a 100 KB web page using each CDN such as Akamai (red), Cloudfront (yellow), Level 3 (yellow green), Google Cloud CDN (emerald green), Fastly (light blue), MaxCDN It shows the time it takes to display the page when it is done. Measurement is done when using each CDN in different countries, but the following graph shows the global average figures. The performance of each CDN has changed according to the time zone, but the time it takes for page display on Google Cloud CDN is the fastest at any time.


The page display speed when using each CDN from different countries is as follows. Even if the same CDN is used, there are openings more than doubled for each country even if the fastest combination uses Google Cloud CDN in Japan623.11 milliseconds, The latest combination is the case of using MaxCDN in India3.43 seconds. The surprising result that the time it takes for page display to expand to 5.5 times even on the same 100 KB page.


The graph below shows the time taken for page display when using each CDN in Japan.


The following graph shows the time taken for page display when using Akamai (red), MaxCDN (light blue), Fastly (blue), Google Cloud CDN (yellow green), Level 3 (yellow), Cloudfront (purple) Things. Google Cloud CDN · Cloudfront · Akamai is about the same page display speed.


Below is a graph of the numerical values ​​measured in the United States. About the same degree page display speed is recorded except for MaxCDN.
