Performance Overview

The Performance Overview gives a friendly snapshot of how your site is doing right now:

  • 🧊 Cached Requests — how much traffic is served from the edge (usually faster for visitors).
  • 🔒 Encrypted Requests — how much traffic is delivered securely (HTTPS).
  • 🛡️ Threats — unwanted or malicious requests that were blocked.
  • 🗺️ Requests by Country — where your visitors are located (map & table).

All controls are simple: choose a time range, refresh, or export CSV to share the numbers.

Charts explained​

🧊 Cached Requests​

Shows how many requests were delivered from the edge cache rather than your origin server.

Cached Requests

Why it matters: Higher caching often means faster pages and less load on your server.

Reading it

  • Steady, higher lines = more efficient caching.
  • Sudden dips = new content or settings that bypass cache (for example, frequent updates).

🔒 Encrypted Requests​

Shows how much of your traffic is using secure connections (HTTPS).

Encrypted Requests

Why it matters: Encrypted traffic keeps visitor data private and builds trust.

Reading it

  • Aim for close to 100% encrypted.
  • If you see lower percentages, ensure your site forces HTTPS.

🛡️ Threats​

Counts requests identified as malicious (for example, known attack patterns or abusive bots) that were blocked.

Threats

Why it matters: A visible line here means protection is working.

Reading it

  • Occasional spikes are normal during scans or probing.
  • Frequent or rising spikes? Consider tightening security rules (rate limits, bot challenges).

🗺️ Request Distribution by Country​

A heat map (and switchable table) showing where your visitors come from.

Request Distribution by Country

Why it matters: Great for localizing content, planning campaigns, and capacity planning.

Reading it

  • Darker regions = more requests from that country.
  • Use the Table View to see exact counts and sort by top countries.

Tips to act on insights​

  • Cache low?
    Make sure images, CSS, JS, and other static files are cacheable. Avoid unnecessary cache-bypass rules.

  • Encrypted low?
    Enable/force HTTPS so visitors always connect securely.

  • Threats high?
    Add or adjust security rules (e.g., challenge suspicious traffic, rate-limit repeated requests).

  • New audiences appear on the map?
    Consider region-friendly content, language, or media schedules.

FAQ​

Why do numbers differ from other tools I use?
Time zones, sampling, and filters vary between analytics products. Compare similar windows and definitions.

Why do I see traffic from countries I don’t target?
Global traffic includes bots, crawlers, and shared networks. Protection features manage this automatically.

Can I compare two custom periods?
Use the time range that fits your window, export CSVs, and compare them in a spreadsheet.

How often should I check this page?
Weekly is a good cadence; check daily during launches or campaigns.
