The CDN then delivers the files

Post by rifat28dddd »

Another advantage of a CDN is that the server closest to the user usually serves the files. This may not be so interesting for a German-language blog or a German niche site, but it can be very useful for e-commerce sites with multiple language or country versions, for example. Images are then delivered to

a visitor in North America from a North American server, a user in poland cell phone number list Europe from a European server, and an Australian user from Australia. This, of course, depends heavily on the size of the network. This way, the paths to the visitor and thus the loading time for the visitor are kept as short as possible.

Of course, a CDN is not a panacea and there are also a few disadvantages to consider and the pros and cons to weigh when making a decision.

Higher effort : Both setting up and running a CDN naturally requires more effort than using a single server on which all files are located.
Security concerns : More servers also mean more entry points for hackers into the system. JavaScript files are particularly targeted by hackers.
Loss of control : Since you don't have the data on your own server but distribute it worldwide, you naturally give up some control over the data. For example, you don't want files hosted in the US. But that's usually unavoidable with a CDN.
