CDN Cache HIT vs MISS | TTL Strategy & DNS/TLS | CDNsun
01 Mar 2026
CDNsun and other CDNs sit between your users and your origin to reduce latency, increase throughput, and protect infrastructure from traffic spikes. But the real gains (or disappointments) come down to how a single request is routed, negotiated over TLS, evaluated for caching, and fetched from origin on a miss. This article walks through that end-to-end request path and the decisions that most affect performance and cache hit ratio. From URL to edge: DNS routing, connection reuse, and the TLS [...]

Comprehensive Diagnostic Methodologies for Global Content Delivery Networks via the curl Command-Line Utility Modern CDNs hide enormous complexity behind clean, fast responses. Anycast routing, TLS termination, cache layers and security policies can all fail in subtle ways. In this article we focus on using curl as a transparent, protocol-level diagnostic tool that lets engineers at CDNsun customers and beyond observe, test and optimize end-to-end CDN delivery with surgical precision. Transparent HTTP/S Diagnostics for CDN Routing and Caching At the heart of CDN [...]
