The Advantages of Content Delivery Network
A Content Distribution Network (CDN) makes your website load faster for all users, wherever they are in the world. This is done by caching copies of your website on servers at our network edge.
Our CDN makes use of the same internet exchange points (neutral data centres) used by Google, Amazon, Microsoft and many other leading tech companies.
We also include a suite of additional speed-boosting features that will automatically apply web performance best practices to accelerate your website. This includes automatic image resizing, image compression and code minification.
How CDN works
A Content Distribution Network (CDN) is all about making a website load faster for all users, wherever they are in the world.
This is done by storing (caching) copies of your website on servers at the network edge. For example, if your website is hosted at a UK data centre, there might be a delay if you try to access that site from the USA. So a copy of your website is stored on a server closer to the user, called a Point of Presence (POP). Multiple copies of your site’s data is stored at different POPs throughout the world, so your site will load faster in remote places. Your users will navigate your site more efficiently, wherever they are.
While it’s good for users, it also helps your website in other ways. Search engines love fast-loading sites so there’s an SEO benefit to having a CDN.
Our CDN offers the same features as premium providers like Cloudflare.
