CDN is one of those hosting terms that gets thrown around without much explanation. Here is what it actually means for your website.
What a CDN Does
A Content Delivery Network stores copies of your website’s files on servers around the world, so visitors load your site from a server near them instead of one far away.
Why That Matters
A visitor across the country, or across the globe, gets a faster loading experience instead of waiting on distance and network hops.
Does Every Small Business Need One?
If most of your customers are local, the benefit is smaller. If you have a national or global audience, a CDN can make a real difference in speed.
It Also Adds a Layer of Protection
Many CDNs help absorb traffic spikes and reduce exposure to certain types of attacks, working alongside Website Security.
Where It Fits
Higher tier WordPress Hosting plans include CDN support built in, so you do not need to configure it separately.
Next Step
Speed is one of the simplest ways to keep visitors from leaving before they see what you offer.
