Content Distribution Networks

Summary

Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) are systems of distributed servers that deliver web content to users based on their geographic location, improving accessibility and performance.

Detailed Description

Content Distribution Networks enhance web performance and reliability by caching and delivering content from multiple locations worldwide. They work by storing copies of static content (such as images, videos, and web pages) in various geographical locations, enabling quicker retrieval by users closer to the server. This reduces latency and improves load times, particularly for large files and during high traffic situations.
