What is a "CDN"?
A CDN, or Content Delivery Network, is a system of servers located in different geographic areas that work together to deliver content, such as websites, videos, or images, to users more quickly. When a user requests content, the CDN directs them to the nearest server, reducing loading times and improving the performance of websites or online services. CDNs also help reduce the load on the main server, improve reliability, and protect against traffic spikes or cyberattacks. They are commonly used by websites, streaming services, and e-commerce platforms to enhance user experience.
Example
The website loads much faster thanks to the CDN that stores its data on multiple servers around the world.
The CDN helped the online store handle the heavy traffic during the holiday sales.
