Does Your Website Need A Content Delivery Network?
A content delivery network puts files in various locations so the web users can view webpages that has the files near the location they are accessing the webpage from. A content delivery network is a system of servers that are hosted in different areas across the globe.
The reason why we have so many content delivery networks is because there can be a significant amount of waiting time when a website visitor wants to view your page, especially when the website is hosted in a location across the globe.
If someone is living in Illinois and is trying to access a webpage that is hosted in California, that person will experience a sluggish version of the website because of the hosting and routing issues. The files will also have to travel a greater distance, which causes the webpage to become slower. When the files your webpage needs are located on different servers across the globe, you will ensure that your website users will get the files that are located the closest to them.
