The surprise bandwidth bill
Bandwidth doubles overnight with no new content.
The Files and Referrer breakdowns show one video embedded on a third-party site that went viral.
You set up hotlink protection before the next invoice.
See how every byte leaves the edge. Track bandwidth, requests, cache performance and audience across every edge location, then take the raw data into your own tools with scheduled reports, raw logs and syslog streaming.
CDN analytics shows how your content is delivered from the edge to your audience: how much traffic you serve, how much is served from cache, where requests come from, and where delivery fails.
A single top-line number rarely explains a problem. When bandwidth spikes, cache efficiency drops or errors climb, you need to break the data down by edge location, country, file, status code and network. 5centsCDN analytics gives you those breakdowns in the dashboard, and the raw data behind them whenever you need to dig deeper.
See exactly where your traffic goes, and catch unexpected spikes before they reach your invoice.
Understand what is served from the edge and what goes back to origin, so you can tune caching where it counts.
Spot rising 4xx and 5xx responses and find the files and regions behind them.
Know which countries, devices, browsers and networks your audience uses.
Get the full picture in one view:
View analytics for a single zone, a single live stream, or your whole account combined. Every chart lets you choose your own date range, and dashboard data is kept for 3 months.
Cache efficiency is the difference between fast, low-cost delivery and constant trips to origin. 5centsCDN breaks down every request by cache status.
When your hit ratio drops, the breakdown shows you why, whether it's a caching rule, a purge, or a new content type that isn't being cached.
Slice your traffic by the dimensions that matter for troubleshooting and planning. Each breakdown can be viewed by bandwidth, requests or unique visitors.
Which edge servers carry your traffic, and how much each one delivers.
| Edge location | Bandwidth |
|---|---|
| Frankfurt, DE | 8.9 TB |
| Ashburn, US | 8.1 TB |
| London, UK | 6.4 TB |
| Singapore, SG | 5.2 TB |
| Mumbai, IN | 4.6 TB |
| São Paulo, BR | 3.3 TB |
Device type, browser, operating system and unique visitors, overall and per country.
The weekly time distribution heatmap shows your traffic by day of the week and time of day. Use it to schedule live events at peak hours, plan maintenance for quiet windows, and see how demand shifts across the week.
Get your complete CDN analytics delivered automatically every month, straight to your inbox and in your dashboard as tables.
Scheduled reports are never deleted automatically. They stay available for as long as you need them, which is ideal for long-term trends, billing reconciliation and stakeholder reporting.
When dashboards aren't enough, go to the source. Extended raw logs record every request in full detail, including which edge server handled it.
