By caching website content on its servers, Deflect efficiently handles large traffic spikes and enhances response times for visitors. Advanced mitigation techniques, including bot-detection challenges and dynamic rules, safeguard against malicious activity. Additionally, its “hidden origin” feature ensures that only Deflect knows the location of a website’s hosting, adding an extra layer of security.

Built on a decentralized infrastructure, Deflect operates across datacenters worldwide, prioritizing flexibility and avoiding central points of failure. It uses Apache Traffic Server for efficient caching and employs file system-level encryption for enhanced security. Committed to sustainability, Deflect actively seeks datacenters powered by renewable energy to reduce its carbon footprint, providing a robust, scalable, and eco-conscious solution for website protection.
