What's New in Delivery
Discover the latest updates to Arc XP's Delivery service.
Delivery UI and API
Release dates
Sandbox and Production - Tuesday, February 25, 2025
(was previously Monday, February 24, 2025)
Release summary
This release addresses an issue in the Redirects page of Delivery related to the uploading of redirect rules containing multiple parameters separated by an ampersand (&). Previously, the system incorrectly saved these parameters as separate entries instead of a single rule.
This update ensures that multi-parameter redirect rules are now processed and saved correctly when uploaded, particularly for RegEx match types. This fix does not affect rules added individually through the UI.
Users affected
Developers and administrators who use the Redirects upload functionality.

Sandbox - Tuesday, July 23, 2024 to be announced
Production - Monday, July 29, 2024
Release summary
You can now provision your website with a default hostname directly in Site Settings. Previously, provisioning a website (with a default hostname <siteId>.<sitename>.<env>.<web/api>.arc-cdn.net) required you to create an Arc XP Customer Support ticket, which could take a day or more.
With the new Provisioning button, which you can find on the Site Settings page in the Delivery tile on your Arc XP admin page, you can have the website (with the default hostname) ready for next steps for website launch, within 20 to 30 minutes.
Note
Provisioning your website with a default hostname is part of a multi-step website launch process. This update automates only the provisioning portion of the process. Fully launching your website requires steps before and after clicking the Provision button. See Launching a website for serving traffic on the Arc XP Platform for full details.
To learn more, see Managing site settings.
Site provisioning through Arc XP Customer Support
After July 29, 2024, Arc XP Customer Support will no longer provision CDN endpoints for your sites. Instead, Arc XP Customer Support will direct you to self-serve by leveraging this feature.
Site de-provisioning through Arc XP Customer Support
To de-provision a website, you must still submit a request to Arc XP Customer Support. De-provisioning is unavailable through the Site Settings page of Delivery in Arc XP Admin.
Users affected
Site admins
Action required
Users must have the Site Manager permission to provision a site. The permission is available in the Delivery section of the Permissions page. See Permissions.
Release dates
Sandbox and Production - Tuesday, August 29, 2023
Release summary
A new page in the Delivery tile, Site Settings, now lets you view your website configuration and settings in a way you didn’t have visibility into before. This page is currently read-only; meaning, you can’t make changes, but you can view the information so you’re better informed about the status of your site.
Specifically, the Site Settings page provides:
A list of domains and apex domains that are provisioned for your organization
Any customizations that are enabled regarding origin, caching, redirects, and content policies
How SSL and HSTS are enforced (HTTP Strict Transport Protocol)
The version of Web Delivery you’re using

Release summary
The akamai-true-ttl response header is now renamed as x-arc-ttl.
Bug fixes
We've optimized caching for homepages. This may improve the cache offload and decreases Time-To-First-Byte.
The response header sizer limit is now increased, and we've optimized header usage to resolve error related to “Excess TCP headers” response being served instead of the requested object.
