New edge locations for Embed scripts

Well, hello there.

We’ve been busy at work to enable something magic for our embeds and embed API. Namely, we now use, and serve, embeds through our edge network across the globe (powered by Cloudflare Workers).

This dramatically improves the speed and reliability for your embeds no matter where you are and hardens them from any downtime from our main server (as it is no longer reliant on it to serve an embed).

You don’t have anything to change if you’re already using embeds… in fact, your existing embeds are already served from the edge location.

If you are using the embed API directly, I have updated the documentation so you can take advantage of the edge.

The above goes hand in hand with the embed script also, which also is served through global availability.

In addition, images are now cached which means they load even faster.

For the future I am hoping to expand the edge API more as time goes.

I’ve written more about the above on my blog.
