What Is a CDN?

A Content Delivery Network, or CDN, is a network of servers distributed across multiple regions. It stores cached copies of your static content and serves them from the server closest to each visitor.

Benefits of Using a CDN

• Reduced latency and faster page loads.
• Less bandwidth usage on your main hosting server.
• Better resilience against traffic spikes and some attacks.

When a CDN Is Most Useful

If you have an international audience, large media files or marketing campaigns that generate sudden bursts of traffic, a CDN can significantly improve stability and performance.

Implementation Tips

• Start with a free or low cost CDN plan.
• Enable caching rules for images, CSS and JavaScript.
• Test your site after enabling the CDN to confirm everything loads correctly.
