# about 100 enterprise contracts, StackPath CDN and Highwinds CDN shut down) and ceased all
# operations in June 2024. No live product exists to map: no maps.

summary: >-
  StackPath's CDN no longer exists. It exited the CDN business in August 2023, when Akamai acquired select
  enterprise customer contracts but not its technology. The company then liquidated and ceased all operations,
  announced June 2024. Nothing here can move a Kin Score. A catalog provider still showing a StackPath
  CDN signal is carrying a stale detection, not a live vendor relationship.

  A model, not a score. Adopting this vendor changes a provider's Kin Score only when the provider publishes
  the resulting artifacts on its own surface; nothing here writes a score, and no sponsorship or partnership
  can.
