Faster CDN proxying to external origins
Vercel optimises CDN connection pooling with improved TLS session resumption, reducing response times by up to 60% in some regions and averaging 15–30% gains across all deployments.
We’ve optimized connection pooling in our CDN to reduce latency when connecting to external backends, regardless of traffic volume. This is now live across all Vercel deployments at no additional cost.
