How Does a Content Deliver Network Work?

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) will convey website pages and other website content to users based on their geographic locations, providing a high-speed experience. This is done using an extensive distributed system of servers deployed in data centers worldwide. The closer a CDN server is to the user geographically, the faster the website loading speed.

What are the Benefits of Using Content Delivery Network?

Organizations use CDNs to accelerate content delivery to their customers globally. CDNs use tightly integrated overlays of web caching, server load balancing, and request routing to allow websites to deliver the best experience for visitors. This results in more than just a great user experience; it also provides decreased bounce rates, increased conversion rates, and even a boost to search engine rankings (SEO).
