Monitor CDN performance within your Synthetic tests

Content delivery networks (CDNs) help reduce latency by delivering cached data from a network of linked proxy servers to end users globally. CDNs can improve the end-user experience and reduce load on origin servers. Datadog Synthetic Monitoring now provides visibility into which CDN providers are loading resources within your tests, along with their cache status. This allows you to troubleshoot slow tests and optimize CDN usage for better performance. By leveraging CDN visibility, users can quickly identify if a CDN miss is causing latency issues in Synthetic tests, reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) and improving end-user experience. Datadog integrates with various CDN providers such as Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly, Amazon CloudFront, and more, allowing users to monitor CDNs used in their Synthetic tests and identify problematic ones for further investigation or configuration changes.
