Origin SNI Request

The Origin SNI Request feature ensures that Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections to your origin server use the correct domain name during the handshake process. By including the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension in the connection request, the origin server can identify and present the appropriate SSL certificate, even when multiple domains are hosted under the same IP address.

In dynamic content delivery, where secure connections are frequently established and involve user-specific or API-driven resources, Origin SNI Request plays a critical role in ensuring secure and seamless content routing. This feature enhances compatibility with origin servers handling dynamic or personalized content while maintaining optimal performance.

Key Benefits

• Seamless Multi-Domain Support: Ensures proper SSL/TLS certificate selection for multiple domains hosted on the same origin server.

• Enhanced Security: Enables secure connections for dynamic requests, protecting sensitive user data during transit.

• Improved Compatibility: Supports origin servers that rely on SNI for SSL/TLS handshakes, ensuring uninterrupted content delivery.

• Optimized for Dynamic Content: Handles frequent and personalized requests efficiently, without compromising connection performance.
