With more than 34 million unique viewers each month , Metacafe® is the world's largest video site focused exclusively on short-form entertainment. The company is teaming with content creators ranging from emerging talents to Hollywood heavyweights to help develop short-form video as an entertainment genre. Metacafe delivers an exceptional entertainment experience by engaging and empowering our audience every step of the way.

Metacafe is leveraging Akamai's globally-distributed content delivery and acceleration platform to improve performance across static pages, dynamic elements and video viewing for increased consumption, creating a complete high quality web application experience. The advanced routing and connection optimization technologies in Akamai's rich media acceleration solution have been crucial to Metacafe achieving these goals. Metacafe is able to accelerate the rendering of each dynamic component of any page, from HTML and video thumbnail previews to advertisements and video loads. In addition, Metacafe is economically reducing infrastructure costs by offloading traffic across Akamai's highly distributed network, taking advantage of both classic edge caching as well as the strategic staging of content within the distributed Akamai network.
