How to activate Origin Shield?

Origin Shield is an extra caching layer between the CDN edge servers and your origin. This increases your cache-hit efficiency, lets you serve content faster and more efficiently, and keeps your site running smoothly.

To activate the origin shield, please follow the steps given below.

Step 1: Click on the "Services/Devices" tab on the navigation bar on your left side of the dashboard. This should reveal more options under it.

Step 2: Click on the "Devices" menu.

Step 3: Select the device for which you would like to enable the origin shield. Look for the device which has "CDN" as a label under the "Description" tab.

Step 4: Click on the looking glass icon (under the "Action" tab) associated with the device.

Step 5: You should now have entered the "Device Detail" page. Click on the "Global CDN Settings" icon available on the right-hand side.

Step 6: Click on the toggle button associated with the Domain to which you would like to activate the Origin Shield. You should see the toggle button on the right-hand side of the dashboard.

The activation takes about a few seconds, and once activated, the loading sign disappears.
