User request flow through N7 to Origin

This diagram shows the flow of user requests through N7 to origin servers

Prerequisite

  1. You must have domain configured on Nitrogen.

Details

Flow

Here, when the request is made from user device, the DNS resolves it to Nitrogen.
If the response for this request is cached at Nitrogen CDN (at the CDN PoP near to user), it is returned back to user from there itself.
Else, the request is proxied to Origin. The response is then optimized by the respective modules if enabled e.g. images by AIO, videos by AVO.
(If WAF is opted, the request is terminated their itself if deemed malicious by it.)

Notes

  1. If the domain is not live on N7, and you want to access the it through N7 to test the flow, refer dns_spoofing_steps
  2. Refer cache-miss-scenarios to know about the cache-MISS scenarios when the requests can reach origin
