Case Study: Knight Frank achieves accelerated global website performance and China access with CDNetworks

Knight Frank Secures Global Presence With CdNetworks

Knight Frank, a London‑headquartered global property consultancy with over 50 country websites, faced inconsistent web performance and accessibility—particularly slow load times in regions like Australia, the UAE and China—because its servers were UK‑hosted. The company was also concerned about the risk of future hacking and DDoS attacks that could damage its brand and user experience.

Knight Frank partnered with CDNetworks to deploy Dynamic Web Acceleration, China Acceleration, WAF, DDoS protection and SSL, accelerating both dynamic search functions and high‑resolution images. The result was a consistent global experience—China access enabled, stronger security—and a dramatic speed improvement (for example, Australia homepage load time fell from 1.5s to 300ms), giving Knight Frank improved reliability and competitive advantage.
