Asset-Delivery

Content Delivery Networks: Speeding Up Global Access Content Delivery Networks, or CDNs, are groups of servers placed near users around the world. They copy and serve your static files from a location close to each visitor, which cuts travel time and speeds up page loads. How they work: When someone visits your site, the CDN routes the request to an edge server near that person. If the asset is cached there, it is served immediately. If not, the edge fetches it from your origin server, returns it to the user, and stores a copy for next time. ...

Content Delivery and Edge Caching Strategies for Speed Speed on the web comes from two main ideas: proximity and freshness. A good edge network places copies of your files near readers, and smart caching keeps popular content ready to serve. Used together, these tactics cut load times, handle traffic spikes, and give a smoother user experience worldwide. How content delivery networks work A CDN stores assets in many edge locations around the world. When a user requests a page, the request is served from the closest edge node rather than your origin server. This shortens the path, reduces network hops, and often improves reliability. CDNs also apply optimizations like image resizing, compression, and connection reuse that help every request be faster. ...
