What is a CDN?

If the content of interest is available without delays, quickly loaded and does not annoy with buffering, the user will stay on the website, in the online store, in the game or on the entertainment portal longer.

A quality user experience will turn your visitors into satisfied customers who are more likely to pay for content and come back to your resources again.

Reducing the load on servers and ensuring high reliability of a CDN can help lower the requirements in terms of performance and the number of servers and internet channels used — in fact, you will have to pay only for the resources actually consumed by a third-party provider.

Savings on CDN traffic allow you to reduce costs significantly. Transferring files to another continent once, keeping them on a local server there and distributing over local links will be cheaper than sending the same traffic across the Atlantic for the thousandth time.

In case of a particularly limited bandwidth transferring static files to a CDN is cheaper than upgrading network equipment. Usually statics occupies a significant portion of the available bandwidth, and instead of upgrading from 1 to 10 Gbps or from 10 to 40 Gbps it is cheaper to send 80 % of traffic to a CDN with no need to invest in expensive servers.

CDN takes creating and supporting your own distributed system of web servers with an experienced operational service team off the table. By using CDN you can quickly scale and develop your web projects abroad.
