Your traffic

Choose a workload. We’ll estimate traffic and requests for you.

Estimated monthly costs

USD per month, before tax. Load balancing and unpriced extras are excluded.

What’s included?

Estimates cover cacheable content. Origin and optional services are added only when you enter their rates. Plans differ in features and coverage; check their terms before buying.

Advanced settings
Split traffic between regions

Percentages must total 100%. The same split applies to bytes and requests. CloudFront charges by serving edge location; this is an approximation. Shared free allowances are allocated proportionally.

Origin and optional services

Paid tiers start with this workload; estimates do not include other account traffic. Enter your own effective rates after origin allowances. Reads use request misses; egress uses byte fill. Functions assume one invocation per viewer request. Zero leaves an extra out of the estimate; it does not mean your origin is free.

Compare a quote you received

This is your quote, not a published provider price. Use an effective rate for the selected traffic mix; tiers, included usage and commitments need to be reflected in your inputs. Sharing a scenario includes your quote details.

Presets are starting assumptions, not measured traffic. Video assumes one rendition and segment GETs; playlists, retries and extra audio tracks add requests. Fill is a byte ratio, not a request cache-hit rate. GB = 1 billion bytes; Google bills GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes; CloudFront estimates use binary GB as a billing assumption.

Overview

Transparent CDN is now marketed as Transparent Edge. The platform uses Varnish Enterprise and VCL to move request-handling logic closer to users, alongside delivery, security and media options.

Its history distinguishes several milestones: a CDN pilot in 2011, commercialization in 2014, the Transparent CDN name in 2016 and commercial integration in 2021. The current website operator is Transparent Edge Services, S.L., with a registered address in Madrid.

Network

The published inventory names locations across several continents. The map uses country-qualified city centers; duplicate sites in one city share a pin. Texas and the inconsistent Nigeria “Laos” label remain unpinned, as do unmatched names.

The map shows approximate city centers. Check the locations and features included in your contract and test delivery from your audience’s networks.

Published CDN cities

Approximate city centers, not facilities. Multiple PoPs in one city share a pin. Regional, inconsistent and unmatched names remain unpinned.

Cache and edge logic

VCL supports request routing, headers, multiple backends and A/B or canary behavior. Use VCL for cache logic; ask separately about a JavaScript runtime if your project needs one. Optional two-layer caching adds a mid-tier to reduce origin requests. ESI is available but must be enabled per site. Flexible purge is offered; check propagation time before depending on refreshed content.

Logs and security

Hourly batch exports support FTP/SFTP and S3-compatible storage. An enabled real-time streaming service provides delivery logs through authenticated Kafka consumers. WAF, bot management and DDoS protection depend on the chosen security scope.

Media options

Video workflows include live/on-demand delivery, recording, transcoding and on-the-fly HLS/DASH rewrapping. Commercial DRM integration is offered; confirm the license system, workflow and charges. Image optimization is a separate portfolio option.

Pricing

General CDN delivery is advertised at one quoted price per GB, without geographic price differentiation or a per-request delivery charge. Obtain the actual rate and minimum commitment.

Cyberpacks are different bundles: Small/Medium/Large list 10/50/100 TB of transfer and 400 million/2 billion/4 billion requests, with separate WAF, bot and Layer 7 site allowances. Public numeric bundle prices and overage rates are unconfirmed.

Use the calculator with a USD quote. Include allowances, minimums and optional products in the estimate, and check the request-overage charges for security bundles. Confirm image/media processing, storage and support costs separately.

Developer tools

Configure delivery

Use the linked documentation and its API reference for actual service controls. VCL can express routing and request logic; test cache keys, headers, multi-origin behavior and deployment rollback. WordPress and cloud-origin integration guides are available.

Export logs

Batch shipping must be activated and configured. Real-time Kafka consumers require their own certificates, approved source IPs and consumer-group configuration; Filebeat, Logstash and Python examples are documented. Set log retention and monitoring so you can retrieve the records you need after an incident.

Support

Cyberpacks include Standard support with 8/5 incident availability. Enterprise tiers advertise 24/7 incident coverage, with phone support at 8/5. Confirm the plan’s escalation terms. Ask about Terraform automation and HTTP/3 if they are requirements for the deployment.

When it fits

  • Web teams needing VCL control over routing and cache behavior.
  • Buyers comparing a global transfer rate with negotiated security scope.
  • Sites requiring batch or real-time request-log integrations.
  • Media workflows able to quote processing and DRM integration separately.

Before you choose

  • VCL controls cache logic; check separately if you need a JavaScript runtime.
  • Include Cyberpack allowances and security overages when budgeting.
  • Ask about required HTTP/3, purge timing and Terraform support.
  • Choose support coverage that matches your incident hours and preferred contact channel.
