Guides to DDoS protection and CDNs.
Plain-English explanations of the attacks that take websites down and the infrastructure that keeps them up. No jargon, no sales pitch.
01
What is a DDoS attack?
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack overwhelms a website or API with traffic from many machines at once, until real visitors can no longer get through.
02
What is a Layer 7 DDoS attack?
Layer 7 (application-layer) DDoS attacks imitate legitimate visitors instead of flooding the network — which is exactly why traditional defenses miss them.
03
How to stop a DDoS attack on your website.
A practical, ordered checklist for the moment your site goes down — and for making sure the next attack never reaches it.
04
What is a CDN?
A content delivery network (CDN) stores copies of your website on servers around the world, so every visitor is served from the location nearest to them.
