Overview

Product Information on Google Cloud CDN

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Google Cloud CDN?

Google Cloud CDN is a software that leverages Google’s globally distributed edge points of presence to accelerate web and media content delivery for websites and applications. The software integrates with Google Cloud products to cache HTTP and HTTPS load balanced content, reducing latency and improving performance for end users. It supports customizable cache behaviors, HTTPS support, logging, and integration with Google’s global network infrastructure. Google Cloud CDN helps businesses address challenges related to scalable content distribution and consistent user experiences by optimizing data routing and minimizing response times for internet-facing workloads.

Google Cloud CDN Pricing

Google Cloud CDN uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model where charges are based on the amount of data served, cache egress to different geographic locations, HTTP and HTTPS cache lookup requests, and cache fill. The software may also apply additional fees for SSL certificates and invalidation requests, depending on usage.

    Google Cloud CDN excels in customisation but needs better cost control and coverage

    5.0
    Jan 30, 2025
    In our architecture, a CDN is an essential service for delivering and serving static content faster to customers across the globe with minimal latency. Google Cloud's CDN does this job perfectly by leveraging their edge servers across multiple regions. It has a good variety of custom origin configurations, such as GCS buckets and load balancers, it also supports backends external to GCP which is very helpful for hybrid cloud architecture. Monitoring and caching controls are great in my experience and perform their job perfectly.
