## About Fastly

Fastly was founded in March 2011 by Artur Bergman and went public on the NYSE (ticker: FSLY). It is headquartered in San Francisco and serves digital businesses across eCommerce, streaming media, digital publishing, financial services, gaming, and high tech. The current CEO is Kip Compton (since June 2025); CTO is Artur Bergman (founder).

Fastly's core thesis: fewer, more powerful Points of Presence (POPs) outperform large numbers of weaker nodes […] because more powerful POPs cache more content and serve it faster. The network is fully software-defined.

Key facts:
- 578 Tbps global edge network capacity (as of March 2026)
- More than 5 trillion daily requests served (as of March 2026)
- <150 ms regional mean purge time with Instant Purge™ (as of December 2025)
- Up to 32% faster time to first byte (TTFB) vs. other CDNs
- ~90% of customers run Next-Gen WAF in blocking mode
- 90K+ app deployments protected
- Leader in Forrester Wave™: Edge Development Platforms, Q1 2026
- Gartner Customers' Choice for WAAP […] 7 consecutive years, 4.8/5 stars
- IDC MarketScape Leader: Worldwide Edge Delivery Services 2024
- NYSE: FSLY

Fastly serves three primary audiences:
- **Developers** building fast, personalized, and secure applications at the edge using WebAssembly-powered compute, key-value stores, real-time messaging, and developer SDKs
- **Security teams** protecting web applications, APIs, and clients from DDoS, bots, injections, and client-side attacks via a unified Next-Gen WAF and bot management platform
- **Digital businesses** (media, eCommerce, finance, travel, gaming) seeking to reduce latency, lower infrastructure costs, and scale reliably without traffic spikes or CDN surprises

## Ora's cached score

Not scored by Ora. GET ora.ai/api/score/fastly.net answered 404 DOMAIN\_NOT\_SCANNED on 5 November 2026, so Ora holds no cached score for this domain. This site asked for a cached score only and never requested a scan. A scan by the site's owner would add one.

## Linking and the companion file

The home page of fastly.net does not link the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens. No llms-full.txt was found at the same root.

## How it compares

At 16 KB the file is larger than 74 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 87 links put it ahead of 76 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 10 to 50 KB. Tranco rank 39. Category: Top 10,000, no category.
