3 INTRODUCTION Why should you use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)? AContent Delivery Network (also known as Content Distribution Network) is a system of geographically distributed severs around the world. These server maintain copies of the content. The primary benefits of a CDN are about speed and high-availability, but a CDN brings a whole range of other advantages. First of all a CDN will boost your website. Slow websites are a no-go these days. A CDN will significantly reduce the loading time. Content will always be served from the closest edge server available. An edge server closer to you will lower latency and the closer a server is the less bottle necks are along the way. So keep in mind that a CDN is not just about a few milliseconds latency improvement but also about much faster loading time. High-availability is another key component of a CDN. Traffic will always be routed to the nearest point of presence (POP). If one POP is not available, all the requests are automatically routed to the next POP. A CDN will definitely improve your site availability. Since the core HTML is still coming from your server, availability can only be as good as it is for your server. A CDN doesn t really help if your (origin) server is frequently down since dynamic content is still coming from your server. What about the other aspects of a CDN? A single server offers you limited scalability. A CDN makes it easier for you to scale seamlessly. Your server only delivers the dynamic content (HTML and such) and all the static content will come from the CDN. A CDN will definitely bring performance improvement whether you run a small site or something on a larger scale. But speed is just one part of the equation, a CDN will bring a whole range of other advantages. sales@keycdn.com proinity GmbH 3
