Shares of the content delivery network company Fastly (NYSE: FSLY) jumped today on seemingly no company-related news. But investors might be interested in the tech stock after realizing last week just how important the company's services are for websites across the internet.
Fastly's stock was up by as much as 7.7% today and had gained 6.8% as of 1:05 p.m. EDT.
Many popular websites and services that run on Fastly's content delivery network experienced an outage last week after one of its customers changed some of their configuration settings. Amazon, Reddit, Spotify, and many other sites were down temporarily as a result.
