    Hello @53654583 ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.

    I understand that you would like to know what are the techniques used for Dynamic site acceleration in Azure Front Door.

    I checked with the Azure Front Door product Group team and they confirmed that DSA for Azure Front Door is very similar to DSA for Azure CDN Standard from Microsoft.

    And you can see that DSA in Azure CDN Standard from Microsoft is mentioned to be offered by Azure Front Door Service which is a global anycast service.
    Refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-optimization-overview?toc=%2Fazure%2Ffrontdoor%2FTOC.json#dynamic-site-acceleration

    DSA includes various techniques that benefit the latency and performance of dynamic content. Techniques include route and network optimization, TCP optimization, and more.

    For more information about dynamic site acceleration, see Dynamic site acceleration, where you can find the details for Route optimization & TCP optimizations techniques.

    Traffic acceleration provided by Azure Front Door is explained in the below doc:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/front-door-traffic-acceleration?pivots=front-door-classic

    Azure Front Door is a modern Content Delivery Network (CDN) with dynamic site acceleration and load balancing. So, DSA is not a feature but rather the ability of Azure Front Door to accelerate dynamic content compared to other services/solutions.

    I have raised an internal feedback item to create a document with content explaining DSA in Azure Front Door for better clarity.

    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
