Virtual Waiting Room on the Edge

Empowering businesses to turn high-traffic moments into sales opportunities. Keep your website online and customers engaged under high load conditions.

CDNetworks’ Virtual Waiting Room solution acts as a virtual queue for your website, handling traffic surges gracefully by directing visitors to a customized, branded waiting page, where they see their number in line and estimated wait time. Visitors flow back to your site at the rate it can handle in a fair, controlled order.

The solution is fully customizable, with waiting room functions rooted in Edge Cloud Apps and Edge KV used to maintain real-time visitor status synchronization across global Points of Presence (PoPs). This approach ensures a seamless, positive experience for every visitor, prevents website crashes, reduces strain on origin servers, and maintains availability even during periods of peak traffic while visitors wait for access.
