Why did we go on this journey of comparing Front Door and Akamai? Because our banner is implemented on our customer’s website we need to make sure that our servers are responding as fast as possible. Add on top the functionality of blocking cookies, which can only work if our script is the very first thing that’s being loaded on the site, and you can see how low latency is absolutely crucial to ensure that we provide the best service possible.

From here we could then start comparing the results from different regions, and this is when we first started noticing that maybe, just maybe, a custom solution wasn’t the best of ideas.

On top of this there’s the fact that this is what they specialize in. So we were able to get some really nice graphs of just how Front Door compared to Akamai.
