CDN Guides are articles packed with information about one CDN feature. The Guide provides generic information and a handy CDN comparison table that provides quick and easy insight into how the feature is supported by/available on each CDN. You will also find more info/details per CDN including links to relevant external online sources.
Prefetch
Prefetching is warming the CDN caches, so first users don't get a slow cache miss response. Relevant for large file/video delivery.

Origin shield
Origin shield is an extra caching layer between the CDN servers and your origin.
