Video Summary

Alright guys, so I’m gonna talk to talk to you about the content delivery network. And basically, this is just the CDN that can speed up your website based on your geographical traffic. Now, if you are a local based company, what I mean by local I mean like I’m talking like from your town, your county, your state, or even like your country or region, so maybe like three to five states around you, if that’s like the primary target of where you are getting your traffic from. I don’t do this CDN is going to give you all that much better experience for your customers. Because basically, all of these servers and data and basically, data centers are placed throughout the whole United States in the world. So basically, the CDN does is it just optimizes depending on where someone’s accessing it, they’re showing us different data centers, in different servers to be able to send that information to the like, to the closest possible or like, so say if there’s a there’s a data center in the states in Michigan and someone in Chicago is going to your site, right? They’re gonna use the the Michigan data center, right like, but like let’s say if you’re just using just the Michigan data center, and you got some people that are in California, or Florida, or even Europe that are accessing your website, right? You want to be able to target those data centers that’s closest to them. So that’s basically what the content delivery network is. Now we get one that’s free but if you want to have dynamic caching, you want to have caching duration settings and keep your site online.
