⚡ Content Delivery Networks

Content delivery networks (CDNs), also known as content distribution networks, are networks of geographically distributed servers that speed up the delivery of web content by caching and serving assets from locations closer to users.

They provide features such as edge caching, compression, intelligent request routing, load balancing, DDoS protection, TLS/SSL termination, and image and video optimization, helping reduce latency, improve availability, handle traffic spikes, and enhance overall website performance.

According to our research, content delivery networks are used on 31% of all websites.
86.9% of these sites use only one CDN, 12.1% use two, and 1% use three or more simultaneously.
