What is a CDN (Content Delivery Network)?
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of servers that are strategically distributed across different geographical locations. Its primary purpose is to deliver web content, such as images, videos, and other media files, to users based on their location, optimizing load times and improving performance.
CDNs can also improve website security by acting as a proxy between the user and the server, helping to prevent DDoS attacks and other threats. By caching content closer to the end users, CDNs reduce the load on the origin server, making websites faster and more secure.
