Case Study: Wayfair achieves consistent, faster site performance and lower bandwidth costs with Fastly

Wayfair - Customer Case Study

Wayfair, the largest U.S. online retailer of home goods with 7 million products across multiple brands and over 2 million weekly visitors, needed a CDN that could deliver consistent, low-latency performance and responsive support. Their sites host millions of differently sized product images, and variability in image type and size made it hard for some CDNs to provide reliable performance for all customers.

Fastly gave Wayfair granular edge caching via custom VCL, enabling optimized cache control and consistent delivery regardless of image size or location. The result was faster, more reliable site performance, lower bandwidth costs, and the scalability and hands-on support Wayfair needed to expand globally—backed by a dedicated customer engineer for ongoing assistance.
