Getting Started Guide: DNS Fast Anycast

DNS Fast Anycast replicates the DNS of your domain worldwide and accelerates access to your site by an average of 34%. The option can be activated with a single click and does not require any modification to your code.

What is DNS Fast Anycast

Thanks to DNS Fast Anycast, the DNS of your domain is replicated in over 20 points of presence worldwide. Wherever your visitors are located, they are redirected to the nearest DNS server, which speeds up access to your site by an average of 34% (DNS resolution). Furthermore, if one of your DNS servers were to become unavailable, the nearest server naturally takes over, allowing your visitors to continue accessing your site.

In summary, DNS Fast Anycast reduces latency and increases the availability of your websites without requiring any modifications to your code.
