CDN (Content Delivery Network)

How CDNs deliver static and cached content from edge locations to improve speed and reliability.

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) caches and serves static or cacheable resources from geographically distributed edge locations, reducing latency and improving resilience for users worldwide.

Why it matters: CDNs reduce TTFB and improve global page load times, which benefits Core Web Vitals, lowers origin load, and improves geographic SEO performance.

Quick tips:

  • Cache immutable assets for long periods; use cache-control headers correctly.
  • Use region-aware routing and a reliable purge strategy for updates.
  • Consider edge functions for lightweight personalization while keeping cacheability.
