What is content delivery?

Content delivery refers to the methods used to distribute digital content, such as web pages, images, videos, and software, to users. The goal is to provide a fast, reliable, and secure user experience by delivering content from servers that are geographically closer to the end-user. Common methods include content delivery networks (CDNs), peer-to-peer file sharing, and edge computing. CDNs are the most widely used approach, involving a distributed network of servers that cache content and serve it to users based on their location. Content delivery is essential for websites and applications that serve a global audience or handle large volumes of traffic.
