What You Should Know About Content Delivery Networks?

FREMONT, CA:A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a worldwide network of servers that work together to distribute internet content as quickly as possible, like web pages and streaming video.

What content does a CDN work with?

A CDN will speed up "static" content, such as web pages, images, and scripts that make up a website. CDNs can also be utilized to speed up the distribution of files such as software installers and patches and video and audio files. A CDN can also be used for the live broadcasting of video or audio sources, such as streaming a sporting event. CDN is even described as website acceleration or Content Distribution Network.

How does CDN work?

The companies can automatically store a copy of the content on servers across the network when they utilize CDN for the website or streaming content.

When anyone requests access to the content, CDN considers the user's location and the network's servers' current latency. It will even determine which server is better suited to deliver the content to the user by merging those two data points. It occurs almost immediately.
