CDN (Content Delivery Network)
Do you want fast load times worldwide with your web application? Use a CDN and offer visitors around the world a fast website!
What is a CDN?
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers in different locations worldwide. The main purpose of a CDN is to efficiently deliver Web content, such as images, videos, style sheets, scripts and other static files, to users wherever they are. When a Web site is hosted on a CDN, the static content files are copied and stored on multiple servers. These servers are also called edge servers. When a user then requests access to the Web site, the content is delivered from the nearest edge server instead of the original server on which the Web site is hosted.
Benefits of a CDN
Faster loading times
By using a CDN, static content, such as images, files and code, are stored on servers closer to the user. This reduces the distance the data must travel, resulting in faster Web page load times.
Maximum security
Minty Hosting also offers a comprehensive CDN package with security features such as DDoS protection and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), which help protect websites from various forms of cyber attacks. Request a separate quote if interested in this comprehensive package.
Better availability
CDNs use geographically distributed servers, meaning that if one server goes down, traffic is automatically redirected to other available servers. This increases the reliability and availability of a Web site, minimizing downtime.
Better user experience
Faster load times, improved performance and better availability all contribute to a better user experience for visitors from abroad. Users are more likely to stay on a foreign website and return if it is fast and reliable.
