Frequently asked questions

Why use the Nosswire CDN

The performance of your website directly affects your engagement. Research from Google shows that as page load time increases from 1 to 5 seconds, the likelihood of users leaving your site skyrockets by 90%. People value speed and won’t stick around for a sluggish website. Slow load times don’t just frustrate visitors—they can also lead to lost revenue. That’s where tools like a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Nosswire's Website Acceleration Suite step in.

Nosswire’s free CDN minimizes delays by caching your site’s content closer to users and optimizing it for fast, responsive loading. This doesn’t just make your website quicker—it also improves your SEO, boosts conversion rates, and reduces data transfer costs. Faster websites mean happier visitors and better results for your business.

Why is a CDN important?

If your business operates internationally—or aspires to—using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) is crucial. A CDN ensures your website loads quickly no matter where your visitors are, providing a seamless experience across the globe.

A faster website doesn’t just improve user satisfaction; it can also boost your sales and enhance your visibility in search engines. Whether you’re starting an online venture from home or managing a thriving e-commerce site, a CDN can give you the edge you need to succeed in a competitive market.

How does a CDN work?

At Nosswire, our Content Delivery Network (CDN) is designed to make your website load faster for users worldwide, no matter where they are.

Here’s how it works: the CDN stores (or caches) copies of your website on servers strategically placed closer to your users, known as Points of Presence (POPs). For example, if your website is hosted in the UK, visitors from the USA might face delays. Nosswire’s CDN bridges that gap by serving a copy of your site from a local server, ensuring quicker load times.
With cached copies distributed across multiple POPs globally, your site becomes faster and more accessible, even for users in remote locations. This improved performance lets your visitors enjoy seamless navigation no matter where they’re browsing from.

But it’s not just about user experience. Nosswire’s CDN delivers added value by boosting your SEO. Search engines favor fast-loading websites, so using our CDN can help your site climb the rankings, giving you a competitive edge.

What if I just serve my local community? Why should I use a CDN?

If you run a local brick-and-mortar business serving just your community, you might assume a CDN isn’t relevant to you. It’s an understandable thought, but even for a local audience, having a fast-loading website can offer significant benefits.

Search engines prioritize fast websites in their rankings, so a quicker site can improve your local SEO. This means your business is more likely to appear at the top of search results when potential customers nearby are looking for your services. Activating a free CDN, like the one offered by Nosswire, can enhance your website’s speed and give you an edge over competitors—even if your customers are just around the corner.

How long is my website’s data cached for at a CDN node?

Our CDN is designed to store static content, making your website faster and more efficient. By default, your website files are cached for 60 minutes, ensuring quick delivery to users. After this time, the cache is automatically cleared to keep your content fresh and up-to-date without any manual effort.

Does the Nosswire CDN perform cache warming?

Nosswire’s CDN takes performance to the next level with cache warming. When a user visits your website, the CDN creates a cached version of the page on the nearest server (or node). If another visitor requests the same page through the same CDN node, they’ll be served the preloaded, “warmed” cache. This process ensures a cache HIT on their first visit, so your website loads lightning-fast right from the start.

What is OCSP stapling?

Nosswire’s CDN takes advantage of OCSP stapling, an advanced technology that improves website speed while protecting user privacy. With OCSP stapling, SSL certificates include a signed OCSP response during the initial SSL/TLS handshake. This streamlines the process of checking whether an SSL certificate has been revoked, cutting down on delays.The best part? OCSP stapling is automatically enabled with Nosswire’s CDN, making your site’s SSL connections even faster without requiring any extra setup.
