Technology advancements drive unmatched content
delivery performance and reduce the percentage of streams affected by video
rebuffers by over 25%

Singapore, May 18, 2017 – To support increasing global online traffic and
content delivery challenges
worldwide, Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW),
a global leader in digital content delivery, today announced significant new
performance and functionality advancements to the Limelight
Orchestrate Platform. By optimizing purpose-built software and
services, the Orchestrate Platform offers breakthrough delivery performance,
even over congested or changing network conditions — all without requiring
special client-side code.

Customer-provided real world
data shows dramatic reductions across geographies and network types:

•       For a major US client: 33% reduction in SD
(480p) video sessions experiencing rebuffers

•       For a major US client: 25% reduction in HD
(1080p) video sessions experiencing rebuffers

•       For a major global video
streamer: 41% reduction in video sessions experiencing rebuffers for mobile
devices in an emerging market

According to Gartner, a
lack of fixed network infrastructure in many emerging markets will drive
a continued mobile-first approach to infrastructure
deployment with more than 80 percent of broadband connections over wireless
through 20201, making mobile content delivery performance critical.

“Consumers worldwide are
taking control of their video viewing experiences. They want to choose what to
watch and when to watch it. And they expect it to be delivered flawlessly on
any device,” said Anil Kumar, Managing Director at
Cinesoft. “With the Orchestrate Platform, we can meet those expectations
because we’re able to deliver the best viewing experiences over any network
connection to people anywhere.”

The Limelight Orchestrate
Platform is built on a global, private backbone network with the speed,
capacity and availability to deliver the experiences today’s audiences demand.
The platform includes integrated content delivery, web acceleration, origin
storage, video management, cloud security and support services. The unique
combination of global private infrastructure, advanced software, and expert services
surpasses other content delivery networks (CDNs) to enable today’s and
tomorrow’s workflows and put audience experiences first.

New capabilities and advancements include:

•       EdgePrism Caching and Delivery Optimization: End-to-end improvements to
Limelight’s EdgePrism cache
management and operating system optimize performance, regardless of connection
type or speed without requiring client-side code, providing unmatched delivery
performance.

•       Protocol Updates and Innovative Capabilities: New capabilities and modern
platform protocol support including
IPv6 and HTTP/2 coupled with recent updates to innovative features such as Intelligent Ingest and SmartPurge make it easy to deliver exceptional
experiences to customers on any device, anywhere.

•       Self-Service Configuration API: New self-service API simplifies and automates
the process of modifying CDN
configurations to support changing business requirements.

“With today’s announcement,
we’re making improvements to many aspects of the business model. From content
acquisition, to content management, to content delivery, with advanced
self-service capabilities, and incremental support for emerging protocols, we’re
determined to make sure our customers deliver an experience that’s superior to
any other in the market. Content delivery is a crucial aspect of the user
experience, and we believe customers will value our superior performance,” said
Nigel Burmeister, VP of Marketing at Limelight Networks.

In another industry-first,
Limelight recently introduced a limited time, money-back guarantee to reduce
online video rebuffer rates by 10 percent or more for new customers. For more
