A Leading Taiwanese Publicly Listed Company Deploys SkyCloud CDN, Improving Cross-Border Website Speed by 90% and Strengthening Cybersecurity Protection

As businesses accelerate their global expansion, cross-border website access has become a critical factor affecting user experience and the stability of brand services. This is particularly important for globally operating brands that serve users across multiple countries, as cross-region connectivity presents significant challenges to website performance and stability. Implementing CDN acceleration and traffic protection architectures has therefore become a key solution for optimizing global access experiences and strengthening cybersecurity capabilities.

Background: Cross-Border Access and Performance Challenges for Global Websites

A leading publicly listed company in Taiwan is a global manufacturer of precision measurement instruments and systems, with operational offices in the United States, Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. As a result, its website must accommodate access requests from users around the world.

Cross-border website access is often affected by international network routing distances, cross-border transmission latency, and peak traffic volumes, resulting in slower loading speeds and reduced efficiency when browsing product information or making customer inquiries. For users accessing the website from cross-border regions, even when the website has completed the required regulatory filings and compliance configurations, an origin server hosted overseas still requires requests to travel across international routes to reach the origin. This can lead to access delays and fluctuations in connection stability due to the distance between international network nodes and suboptimal routing paths.

Meanwhile, as global cyberattacks and automated crawler traffic continue to increase, enterprise websites also require more comprehensive traffic management and protection capabilities to maintain service stability.

Solution: Implementing Global CDN Acceleration and Cybersecurity Protection

To address slow cross-border connectivity, SkyCloud helped the leading Taiwanese publicly listed company implement a global CDN content delivery architecture. Through traffic distribution across multiple nodes and caching mechanisms, the solution reduces cross-region access latency for overseas users while improving website loading performance and connection stability across different regions.

In addition, to address cross-border access latency, nearby-node acceleration and origin-fetch optimization mechanisms ensure a consistent website experience for users across different network environments.

On the cybersecurity front, the system also incorporates traffic scrubbing and protection mechanisms to identify and block abnormal traffic and malicious requests in real time, effectively reducing the risk of DDoS attacks and automated crawler traffic placing excessive loads on the origin server.

Results: Improved Website Performance and Strengthened Cybersecurity Protection

After implementing SkyCloud CDN, the engineering team conducted verification using third-party testing tools and confirmed that users in cross-border regions could access the company's official website reliably and smoothly. At the same time, integrated cybersecurity protection mechanisms enabled the system to detect and block abnormal traffic in real time, effectively reducing the risk of service disruptions caused by malicious traffic overwhelming the origin server.

[Website Performance Improvements]
Loading time in Taiwan: 531.54ms → 45.64ms (approximately 91% improvement)
Loading time in cross-border regions: 1018.38ms → 482ms (approximately 53% improvement)

[Cybersecurity Protection Results]
The system successfully detected and blocked a large volume of abnormal crawler traffic (YisouSpider), intercepting more than 182,303 invalid requests in total and effectively reducing the risks of malicious scanning and traffic-based attacks.

[Traffic Capacity Verification]
Under stress-testing conditions: Peak bandwidth: 107 Mbps; Concurrent connections: 3.8K
The average CPU load of SkyCloud's Taiwan CDN nodes remained between 1% and 2%, with peak utilization staying below 15%, demonstrating stable and flexible traffic-handling capabilities.

▲ Analysis of connection activity within 24 hours after deployment: 30,500 unique IP records and 182,303 blocked crawler requests. (An unusually high volume of YisouSpider crawler traffic was detected and promptly blocked after verification to prevent excessive load on services.)
