# Smart Routing

Intelligent request routing that finds the fastest path to your origin,
bypassing Internet congestion and failures automatically.

## Faster than the Internet

The public Internet is unpredictable. Packets get lost, routes get congested,
and latency spikes happen constantly. Smart Routing uses our optimized network
to bypass these issues.

- ✓ Real-time network monitoring across all paths
- ✓ Automatic failover in under 1 second
- ✓ 30% average latency reduction to origin

## Key Capabilities

Intelligent routing features that optimize every request.

### Global Optimization

Optimized routes between all 2,020 edge locations and your origin.

### Instant Failover

Automatic rerouting when network issues are detected.

### Origin Protection

Reduced load on your origin with optimized connection pooling.

## The Difference

See how Smart Routing transforms your origin connectivity.

### Without Smart Routing

- ✗ Unpredictable latency
- ✗ Packet loss during congestion
- ✗ Slow failover on network issues
- ✗ Higher origin load

### With Smart Routing

- ✓ Consistent sub-50ms origin fetches
- ✓ Zero packet loss on our network
- ✓ Instant failover (
