SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Limelight Networks,
Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a leading provider of content delivery
and AppOps at the edge, today announced that January 2022 was its highest traffic month ever,
breaking its previous record set in December
2021.
The new record was driven by several of Limelight's largest
clients choosing to increase the volumes of pre-planned and routine
day-to-day traffic sent over its network, a trend that continues
into the new year from the seasonally strong fourth quarter.
Additionally, seven of Limelight's all-time top ten traffic days
are in 2022.
"We're experiencing a strong start to the year with record
traffic in January followed by continued strength in February. Our
clients are seeing the benefits of the numerous operational and
strategic changes we've made and continue to make to our network
and trusting us with their traffic," said Bob Lyons, CEO at Limelight, "Network
performance has been our highest priority and we continue to work
tirelessly to increase throughput, capacity and cache."
Limelight's ongoing investment in the development and
optimization of its network led to high performance even over
congested or changing network conditions. These improvements have
resulted in continued high-quality experiences for clients even in
the face of record traffic.
"Higher traffic leads to higher utilization, which is directly
correlated to our gross margins. Complementing this are the
previously announced architectural and automation changes, which
should structurally improve our margin profile," said Dan Boncel, CFO at Limelight.
