Live Streaming

Enabling Live Streaming for a CacheFly service will reduce timeouts when serving user requests (ingress timeouts) and allow faster retry in case of request problems. For example, this helps stream video content smoothly.

You can enable Live Streaming for individual CacheFly services. See more on creating and managing a service.
