What is the Content Delivery Network (CDN)?

Web page and most of the web content is served using CDNs. A CDN is a system of a geographically distributed group of servers that work together to provide fast delivery of Internet content. It provides quick transfer of assets needed for loading Internet content, including HTML pages, javascript files, images, and videos. Furthermore, a CDN also plays an important role in protecting websites against some common malicious attacks, like Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks.

For all over the world, with a CDN, the content only needs to travel between only CDN’s servers location and user location. Normally, the content needs to be transferred between the hosting location and each user location. There are three main reasons to use CDNs for a web site.
