Glossary: What is a Content Delivery Network?

A CDN improves content delivery speed and reliability by distributing cached data across geographically located servers.

CDNs store cached copies of content on multiple servers worldwide. When a user requests content, it is delivered from the nearest server, reducing latency and ensuring fast, reliable access.
