At our size and growth rate, providing robust service reliability and performance demanded the deployment of a global content delivery network. CDNetworks' global reach, responsive support and flexible integration team proved they were the clear choice to support our publisher network and its audience.

Lijit's service needs are a perfect match with CDNetworks' content delivery solutions

We have worked with Lijit to build a custom failover solution, which allows them to deliver their embedded search service without degraded page load performance, should their service ever become unavailable. This is of the utmost importance to their publishers and we are pleased to play a key role in providing this critical component.
