Content Delivery Network (CDN): Worldwide Speed
March 2, 2026
What is a CDN?
A CDN is a network of servers around the world that store and serve copies of your website from the location closest to the visitor.
How Does a CDN Work?
When a visitor from Japan visits your Dutch website, the content loads from a server in Asia instead of the Netherlands. This drastically cuts the load time.
Benefits of a CDN
Faster Load Times
Content is served from servers close to your visitors.
Less Server Load
Your main server has to handle fewer requests.
DDoS Protection
CDNs can filter out malicious traffic.
Popular CDN Providers
Cloudflare, KeyCDN, StackPath and Bunny CDN are popular choices.
