Akamai's Edge Redirector good for SEO?

[wojkwasi]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has used/tested Akamai's new 'Edge Redirector' cloudlet?http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/edge-redirector.html

It seems like it would be a better/faster option than redirects at the server level via htaccess.. thoughts?

Thanks!,
Woj

Hi Woj. I've yet to use that, but conceptually it sounds like it would work as part of platform that's already using a delivery solution: "Edge Redirector requires a delivery solution and works in concert with other Akamai Intelligent Platform capabilities."  If the server based .htaccess is becoming very large and a bottle neck to serving pages globally, I'd consider it.
