Case Study: Ekstra Bladet achieves stable, high-performance news delivery with Fastly

Ekstra Bladet Ensures Stability, High Performance and Instant updates with Fastly

Ekstra Bladet, Denmark’s largest online news media site, faced major downtime during traffic spikes, especially around big news events, which threatened user satisfaction and site stability. The company turned to Fastly for a scalable, globally accessible cache/CDN solution to keep content available and performance high.

Fastly implemented its CDN and caching platform to deliver content quickly worldwide, enable instant purging for breaking news updates, and provide better observability through an easy-to-use control panel. As a result, Ekstra Bladet expanded Fastly from caching static assets to powering nearly the whole website, helping it handle surges without disruptions and supporting more than 750,000 daily visitors, 600 million monthly page views, and 30 million monthly video views.
