CDN Strategies for Global Performance Global users expect fast, reliable access to sites and apps. A well-planned CDN lowers latency by serving content from edge locations near the user. It also reduces load on origin servers and helps handle traffic spikes. This article shares practical strategies for a modern CDN setup that improves performance worldwide. Start with a clear map of regions and targets. Measure latency by country, city, and mobile networks. Choose providers with strong regional coverage and, if needed, edge compute for near-edge processing. A multi-CDN approach can reduce risk, but it adds management work.
