FEATURES

Everything Edge needs — and proof it’s working.

Edge-enforced

Blocked before it lands

Protection runs at the edge, so hostile traffic is stopped in front of your site rather than after it has already consumed resources and skewed your signals.

Per-URL defense

Targeted-attack aware

Attacks aimed at specific URLs — the ones built to poison a page’s rankings or dwell metrics — are detected and neutralized per-URL, not just site-wide.

Always-on

Every zone, every request

Enforcement runs across all your zones continuously, with a safe override path for testing and operator IPs.

Fast

Global, low-latency

Deployed on a global edge network, protection adds negligible latency for real users while stopping attacks at the door.

Origin-saving

Less load, lower cost

Because hostile traffic never reaches your origin, you cut server load and cost while improving resilience.

Verifiable

Sealed decisions

Every edge decision is sealed to the RankShield Network, so your protection is auditable end to end.

FAQ

RankShield Edge — questions, answered.

What is edge protection?

Edge protection runs in the global network layer in front of your website, so hostile traffic is filtered before it ever reaches your server (“origin”). RankShield Edge uses this position to block per-URL SEO attacks, bot sweeps and traffic manipulation at the door — faster, cheaper, and before any damage lands.

How is RankShield Edge different from a WAF?

A standard web application firewall blocks known exploits and injection attacks. RankShield Edge adds the layer WAFs miss: SEO/CTR manipulation, per-URL targeted attacks, sitemap sweeps and dwell-poisoning — the traffic-based attacks designed to hurt your rankings and revenue — with verifiable, sealed decisions.

What attacks does it stop?

Per-URL click-through and CTR manipulation, automated sitemap sweeps, dwell-poisoning, bot bursts and hostile crawler traffic — the “invisible” attacks that quietly degrade your search performance and inflate your costs, all blocked at the edge before they reach you.

Does it work with my existing site and CDN?

Yes — RankShield Edge runs on the global edge in front of your origin and complements your existing stack. Talk to us and we’ll enable it across your zones, with a safe testing path before it goes to full enforcement.
