AZ-LIMELIGHT/RIGHTMOVE

Limelight Networks, Inc. (“Limelight”) (Nasdaq:LLNW), a global leader in digital content delivery, today announced that Rightmove plc (“Rightmove” ) has implemented the Limelight Orchestrate™ (“Orchestrate”) Content Delivery service to expand and optimize the delivery of high-quality web and mobile real estate content. Rightmove, the U.K.’s number one property website, is ranked among the top ten most popular websites in the U.K., with over 50 million page impressions per day, in excess of one million listed properties, and more than 2.5 billion active and archived images.

“Images are critical to give people an idea of what a property looks like, what kind of features it has, and most importantly, the ability to picture themselves living in the property,” said Tim Harding, head of operations at Rightmove. “Limelight delivers the functionality, scalability, and multi-device delivery capabilities to support our continued growth. The technical knowledge, integration support, and overall responsiveness we receive from Limelight are superb. Everything about the engagement has been fast and easy, from our initial introduction to the final implementation.”

As more home hunters turn to online and mobile tools during their search, delivering quality digital content without latency is crucial to the real estate sales process. Today, mobile devices generate more than half of all property detail views on Rightmove, so selecting a CDN that allowed them to support the myriad of devices on the market, and varied image sizes, was critical to accommodating the growing needs of its audience.

The Orchestrate Content Delivery service enables Rightmove to deliver content on the world’s fastest private network, expediting the next step in the buying or selling process. The Rightmove app is available for iPhone, iPad, Android (including Kindle) and Windows Phone or people can use the mobile site compatible with all smartphone handsets.

“With the majority of home hunters now searching online, a property’s interactive and digital assets are a crucial part of the home buying process,” said Kirby Wadsworth, CMO of Limelight Networks. “Limelight is proud to be working with Rightmove to ensure their digital content is rapidly delivered to prospects, empowering sellers to market, sell, or rent their available residencies and buyers to find their next home – even while using mobile devices.”
