CDN
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a system of servers spread across the globe that stores copies of website files, like images and videos, to deliver them to users faster and more reliably.
How it works
It works by caching content on servers located geographically closer to the end-user, reducing the distance data must travel. This speeds up loading times, improves website performance, and helps handle high traffic loads.
Examples
- 1.Streaming a popular TV show on Netflix without buffering
- 2.Loading high-resolution product images quickly on an e-commerce site during a sale
- 3.Downloading a large software update from a company's website
