CDN or Content Delivery Network is introduced in the late 90's to accelerate internet content delivery by bringing content to the user and this improves the performance of a website.
CDN helps to bring content closer to users, which results in faster delivery and better website performance.
There are two types of CDN: CDN Push and CDN Fetch. Other types include traditional CDN, Cloud-based CDN, peer-to-peer CDN, and Hybrid CDN.
Choosing the right CDN should consider factors like traffic size, geographic regions, security, platform compatibility, ease of setup, pricing model, hidden costs, customer support, and uptime guarantee.
CDN helps improve website performance through reduced latency, load balancing, improved security, caching, dynamic content acceleration, and increased reliability.
With the help of CDN, businesses can offer a fast, secure and seamless web experience to their customers, irrespective of their location in the world.
