Ion provides a suite of intelligent performance optimizations and controls that help deliver superior web, iOS, and Android app experiences. Built on the SLA-backed availability of the globally distributed Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform™, Ion continuously monitors real user behavior applying performance optimizations automatically and adapting in real time to changes in content, user behavior, and connectivity.

Adaptive Acceleration
Deliver rich, personalized experiences to your users without lifting a finger. Machine learning uses real user behavior to continuously adapt and prioritize performance optimizations across your site. Ion determines the optimal time to push or compress content and pre-connect to third parties to deliver fast and optimized experiences automatically. Ion’s Script Management functionality provides visibility into the impact of first and third-party scripts on your page, giving you automated controls to avoid costly outages.

Policy-Driven Optimization
Provide differentiated user experiences with a range of content analysis and client-side optimizations to help users interact with your content sooner through advanced prefetching, adaptive consolidation, asynchronous loading, and script management, helping engage users with on-demand page and mobile app presentation.

Mobile Application Performance SDK
Ion extends performance into mobile application users’ hands via SDK. Users benefit from pre-positioned content and reduced latency in cellular networks, while developers gain insight into real devices and user to help tune app experiences with accuracy.

Real-time Self Service Management
Keep your content fresh and engaging with web-based tools and APIs that simplify operations including content and traffic management, link management, and protection from attacks while helping your online properties scale to meet peak demand.

Dynamic Acceleration
Provide consistent performance over wired and cellular connections and realize improvements through protocol optimizations, including real-time IPv4/6 adaptation. User experiences benefit from fast and efficient modern web protocols like HTTP/2 and WebSockets.

Fastest and Most Reliable Experiences
Automatically accelerate content while routing around congestion and outages and balancing traffic load globally with SureRoute. Maximize availability with a fault-tolerant solution that makes intelligent routing decisions based on network conditions.
