About Curator

Curator — a CDN provider focused on the Russian market. It uses direct interconnections with major operators at key internet exchange points in Russia. It provides content delivery, DDoS protection, and load-balancing services. Its customers include online stores, SaaS services, and media projects. Curator relies on direct peering with Russia's largest operators at key internet exchange points. This minimizes the number of intermediate hops and reduces RTT without the need to build proprietary nodes in every city. The effect is especially pronounced in regions with well-developed backbone infrastructure.

What is RTT and why measure it?

RTT (Round Trip Time) — the time it takes for a data packet to travel from the user to the CDN node and back. Measured in milliseconds. The lower the RTT, the faster the browser establishes a connection with the server. High RTT is especially critical for:

  • websites with a high number of server requests
  • online gaming and video calls
  • any service where instant interface responsiveness matters

What do the RTT charts show?

01

Average RTT chart — lets you track network stability. Sharp spikes indicate backbone channel congestion or issues at specific provider nodes.

02

Cities with high RTT — regions where the provider's CDN node is physically far from users or connectivity with local operators is not optimally configured.

03

Providers with high RTT — a comparative latency ranking. Helps quickly determine whose infrastructure is closer to your audience.
