Key Metrics and Terminologies Explained
- Bandwidth: Displays the total amount of data delivered via Rocketdime CDN. This helps you understand your overall data transfer requirements.
- Hits: Reflects the number of requests sent to the CDN for a file. Each individual request for a video chunk, for example, is counted as a hit.
- Cache Hits: Indicates the percentage of requests successfully served from the CDN’s internal cache. Higher cache hits lead to faster delivery and reduced origin server load.
- Non-Cache Hits: Represents the number of requests where the CDN needed to fetch content from the origin server instead of serving it from cache.
- Edge Locations: Lists the active Edge Points of Presence (PoPs) that deliver your content. It also includes statistical data per location, providing insight into regional performance.
- Top Files: Identifies the top 50 streams or files that have received the highest number of requests.
- Status Codes: Categorizes the number of successful and unsuccessful requests made to your CDN. This data is crucial for identifying potential delivery issues.
- File Types: Provides a graphical breakdown of the file types most frequently delivered by the CDN. This helps in analyzing content trends and optimizing delivery for specific formats.
By leveraging these insights, you can monitor your Rocketdime CDN performance, identify optimization opportunities, and ensure seamless content delivery for your users. For further assistance or advanced analytics, feel free to reach out to our support team.
