persistent_​connection

  • Property Manager name: Persistent Connections: Edge to Origin
  • Behavior version: The v2023-01-05 rule format supports the persistent_​connection behavior v1.1.
  • Rule format status: GA, stable
  • Access: Read-only
  • Allowed in includes: Yes

This behavior enables more efficient persistent connections from origin to edge server to client. Compare with the persistent​_client​_connection behavior, which customizes persistent connections from edge to client. Contact Akamai Professional Services for help configuring either.

Warning. Disabling this behavior wastes valuable browser resources. Leaving connections open too long makes them vulnerable to attack. Avoid both of these scenarios.
