Content Delivery Flashcards

1
Q

CDN

A

Content Delivery Network
is a global network of interconnected servers
that ensures your website’s content reaches users quickly.
If one server is down or overwhelmed,
the CDN automatically reroutes requests
to the next closest server.
This ensures your website
remains available and performs consistently,
regardless of traffic spikes or server issues.
