What is CDN?

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a geographically distributed network of servers that caches static content (e.g., images, videos, JavaScript, CSS) and delivers it to users from the server closest to their location. This reduces latency, improves website loading times, and decreases the load on the origin server. CDNs are commonly used to enhance the performance and reliability of websites and web applications.
