Abstract

A system and method for accelerating web page delivery is disclosed in one embodiment. Web requests are made to an edge server of a first point of presence (POP) of a content delivery network (CDN). The web content can be cached at the edge server in the first POP. Where the cache is missing the web content, it is queried from a second POP determined to be closer to the origin server for the web content. The second POP can have its own cache or request the web content from the origin server. Only missing components from the web content are passed to the first POP. Additionally, the missing components can be compressed.
