The benefits of Adobe Edge Delivery Services

Adobe Edge Delivery Services is the fastest way to deliver websites on Adobe Experience Manager. It changes how sites are built and authored, and the results show in speed, search performance and how quickly teams can publish.

What is Edge Delivery Services?

Edge Delivery Services is part of AEM Sites. Pages are built from simple blocks of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and delivered from a global edge network. Content can be authored in several ways:

• Document Authoring, a browser-based editor designed for Edge Delivery
• Microsoft Word or Google Docs, for teams that prefer documents
• Universal Editor, for visual, in-context editing with AEM governance

Five benefits

1. Speed

Edge Delivery is designed to hit top Lighthouse scores. Fast pages rank better, convert better and cost less to serve.

2. Easier authoring

Authors work in tools they know. There is less training, and publishing takes minutes rather than days.

3. Faster development

A plain front-end stack with no heavy frameworks means new features ship in days, and there are fewer dependencies to maintain.

4. Built-in experimentation and monitoring

A/B tests can run without extra tooling, and real-user monitoring shows how real visitors experience your pages.

5. Lower total cost

Less infrastructure, fewer custom components and faster delivery all reduce the cost of running a site.

When to choose it

Edge Delivery Services suits marketing sites, campaign pages, content hubs and commerce storefronts. Highly complex, deeply integrated applications may still be better on traditional AEM Sites, and many organizations run both.

How RENY helps

We build Edge Delivery sites, migrate existing AEM and non-Adobe sites onto it, and set up the authoring model that fits your team. Our own website is built with the same principles: simple blocks, fast pages and easy editing.
