关于客户
Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Hostelworld is the global leading hostel-focused accommodation platform. Launched in 1999, when a hostel owner and IT entrepreneur identified a niche in the market, it is the flagship brand within Hostelworld Group. The site’s main focus falls on hostels boasting over 33,000 properties in more than 170 countries. In addition, the Hostelworld platform powers Lonelyplanet.com, Tripadvisor.com, Travellerspoint.com, and 1000s more websites.
挑战
As Hostelworld’s global footprint rapidly grew in terms of its customers and properties, especially in the Asia Pacific region, it found that the performance of its website outside of Western Europe was becoming increasingly important. It soon became clear that users outside of Western Europe were often experiencing a lag effect when viewing the content online. With Hostelworld’s main website being hosted in its primary data centres in Dublin and London, customers situated further afield didn’t experience the same level of site performance. In order to deliver the best possible experience for its global customers, Hostelworld needed to ensure that its website performed equally as fast across the various continents and devices.
解决方案
After carrying out extensive research, Hostelworld chose CDNetworks’ Content Acceleration and SSL to deliver the website globally. Once deployed, 93% of the traffic was easily offloaded to CDNetworks, to ensure the smooth delivery of website pages in countries such as India, Australia, Brazil and Russia. CDNetworks accelerates everything from graphics, java scripts and style sheets through to payment processes. CDNetworks SSL ensures that the overhead of establishing a SSL session does not affect Hostelworld’s website performance. By establishing SSL sessions closer to the customer, the multiple round trip communications that need to occur between the customer and server happen quicker without any perceivable delays. Hostelworld is also currently in the process of deploying CDNetworks’ China Acceleration solution and tapping into the content distribution infrastructure across 30 PoPs in mainland China.
