TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Limelight Networks
(Nasdaq:LLNW), a leader in digital presence management, today announced the
results of a global survey that provides insight into the greatest operational
challenges and business impact of content delivery performance. Based on
responses from over 230 Limelight Orchestrate(TM) ("Orchestrate") Platform
customers, the survey shows that sixty-two percent of companies view high
performance delivery of content as one of their highest priorities for
businesses today.
Conducted in the fall of 2013 by TechValidate, an independent research
organization, the survey explored the primary reasons for addressing web
performance challenges, the importance of web performance, and the most
significant operational challenges to delivering effective web performance.
