Your website will continue working as intended. Cside has a fail-open design with a 99.99% uptime SLA, but if there's ever an issue, JavaScript requests automatically fall back to fetching directly from their original sources. This is completely different from a WAF failure, where your entire site becomes unreachable. We've designed the cside platform to enhance security without creating single points of failure for your website's core functionality. We knew from the start that this was an important requirement.
Can cside work alongside my existing WAF without conflicts?
We monitor an entirely different dimension of the application stack; hence, there is no interference.
Does cside's JavaScript proxy add latency like a WAF does to all traffic?
cside only adds 8-20 milliseconds to specific dynamic JavaScript files we proxy, with static scripts cached for faster loading.
How does cside's approach compare to the complexity of managing a WAF?
cside is much simpler because we're only handling JavaScript files, not your entire web infrastructure.
Will cside's proxy approach break my website like a misconfigured WAF might?
No, your website will continue working normally as we only intercept third-party scripts with fail-open design.
