What is a CDN? | How a Content Delivery Network Can Help Your Website

Описание: Understanding what a content delivery network (CDN) is can sometimes be confusing. In this video, we break down the basics of what a CDN is and how it works in simple terms — no tech dictionary needed. You’ll learn what a CDN does, how it works behind the scenes, and what it can do for your site or business.

In short, a CDN is a geographically distributed system of servers that keeps copies of your site’s files cached closer to your users. Instead of every visitor hitting your origin server, nearby edge servers deliver the content quickly. Less distance + less stress on the origin server = faster pages and happier visitors.

If you’re a purely local business with an audience limited to a small area, you may not need a CDN. The decision to invest in one depends on your needs!
