A CDN or Content Delivery Network improves the performance and website speed for visitors by improving the loading time of your content such as web pages, video and streaming platforms.
What is CDN
Website Cache and performance
Content delivery is basically the time it takes for content to be delivered to your website visitors, such as an image or video that needs a second or two to load. A CDN is a group of interconnected servers distributed all over the world, referred to as a PoP or point of presence. These servers replicate and cache your website content to deliver it faster and more efficiently around the world.
What are the benefits of using a CDN?
Content Delivery Network
Faster loading times means less delay, happier visitors.
A Content Delivery Network improves the performance of your website for visitors by increasing the loading speed of your content such as web pages, video and streaming platforms. This ensures that visitors can enjoy consistent, reliable load times no matter where they are in the world.
Content Delivery Network
Improved reliability and performance.
A Content Delivery Network works in a variety of ways to make your website more reliable for visitors. Caching at the edge allows you to serve content even if your services are interrupted. It also helps regulate traffic spikes so you can maintain your website load times during high traffic periods.
Content Delivery Network
Better ranking with
tangible SEO results.
Faster load times drastically improve your website’s SEO ranking. This is because search engines favour websites that are optimised for speed and usability. The quicker it takes to index, the more the search engines will crawl your site, which ultimately leads to better ranking placement.
Content Delivery Network
Additional security with
robust protection.
A Content Delivery Network promotes safer browsing by delivering the content to your website more securely through its own network. Security measures provided by a CDN provider can include DDoS protection and encryption.
