EdgeServers

Content Delivery Networks: Speed and Availability Worldwide A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a global system of servers that store copies of your website content. When a user loads your page, the CDN tries to serve that content from a location near them. This shortens the distance the data must travel and reduces delay, so pages load faster even for visitors far from your origin server. How it works: edge servers cache files such as images, styles, and scripts. When a user requests a file, the edge server serves a nearby copy. If the content changes, you can purge or update the cache from the origin. Intelligent routing, based on the user’s location, selects the best edge node, and some providers offer dynamic content acceleration for API calls and personalized pages. ...

Content Delivery Networks: Speeding Up the Web Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) place copies of your content in many locations around the world. This makes pages load faster for visitors who are far from your main server. CDNs handle many requests at once and serve content from a nearby edge location. They also help your site scale during sudden traffic surges. How they work: When a user requests a file, the CDN routes the request to the closest edge server. If the edge has a fresh copy, it serves immediately. If not, it fetches from the origin, stores a copy, and serves it. Popular files stay near users, while less-used content stays on the origin until needed. ...

Content Delivery Networks for Global Performance Content delivery networks (CDNs) help websites reach users quickly no matter where they are. By spreading copies of content across many locations, a CDN shortens the distance data must travel. That means faster page loads, fewer timeouts, and a better experience for readers and customers around the world. CDNs work by placing edge servers in strategic places. When someone requests a file, the network decides which edge node is closest or fastest for that user. The edge serves cached content or fetches it from the origin if needed. Caching rules and TTLs determine how long content stays at the edge, while purge and invalidation tools refresh assets when you publish updates. ...

Content Delivery Networks: Speeding Up the Web A Content Delivery Network, or CDN, is a set of servers spread around the world. Instead of sending every request all the way to your origin, a CDN serves the content from a nearby location. This shortens travel distance and often speeds up page loads for users far from the main server. CDNs also help by balancing traffic and keeping sites available during spikes. ...

Content Delivery Networks: Speed and Reliability for Global Access A Content Delivery Network (CDN) places copies of your site and media on servers around the world. The goal is to bring content closer to visitors, so pages load quickly and stay usable even during traffic spikes. When a user requests a page, the CDN routes the request to the nearest edge server. Static files like images and scripts are served from cache, while dynamic content may be fetched from your origin or handled by edge logic. TLS can terminate at the edge, speeding secure connections and reducing load on your main server. ...
