What Is
Developer Tips Ron Fybish

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a system of


distributed servers that deliver web content to
users based on their geographic location
Developer Tips Ron Fybish

The main goal of a CDN is to reduce latency


for web requests by caching content
closer to the user
Developer Tips Ron Fybish

This is done by having multiple servers at


different locations worldwide that deliver
the same content, so that users in different
parts of the world can access it faster
Developer Tips Ron Fybish

When a user requests a website, the CDN looks


up which server is closest and serves them the
content from that location.
Developer Tips Ron Fybish

This reduces latency since data doesn't


need to travel as far, making websites
load faster for users around the globe
Developer Tips Ron Fybish

CDNs also provide additional benefits


such as availability, performance, and
cost savings by reducing bandwidth
usage and improving page speed scores
Developer Tips Ron Fybish

In conclusion
By taking advantage of distributed servers, it
allows websites to reach more users without
needing extra hardware or bandwidth.
