CDN stands for Content Delivery Network. As the name implies, it delivers content unlike a normal server. It serves a client request from multiple locations which improves latency and user experience.
Web developers often use it to improve website speed. Several hosting companies provide CDN services along with their normal hosting. Some of them are HOSTINGER, Bluehost, and Siteground.
How does CDN work?
When a visitor sends a request to the server in typical hosting, it sends back website files. So the website loading speed differs for all visitors based on different locations. The requests made from near the server location are served faster as compared to farther ones.
So what’s the solution to this problem? The answer is to reduce the distance between the server and the visitor device.
CDN is a network of inter-connected servers that store multiple copies of website files in different locations. In this way, the same website is served from different servers based on the location of the request.
