Suppose the success of your business, like most these days, depends on quality content and a global audience. In that case, a CDN platform is a necessity for the online experience that modern customers expect. Due to image, download, video, streaming content, and non-optimized website code, slow pages can mean huge losses in sales, conversions, or followers.

Super easily. You can add CDN from this page by choosing a plan, on your STEVIANA IT dashboard. A few easy clicks and it’s all yours.

If your website is purely a text brochure and mostly used by people in the same country (e.g., the USA) as your hosting server, you could be ok without a CDN. However, slow websites in-country or in other parts of the globe cause search engine rankings to go down. If your hosting servers are not closer by, or really busy, visitors will experience a slow website. CDNs deliver content by closest geolocation and get rid of latency.

CDN stores the most recent and up to date website nearer to the people who want to find you avoiding content loading or streaming problems. If there’s traffic interruption or attacks and spikes, the CDN will reach for the nearest local server and still deliver super-quickly.

A friend or customer in another part of the world, or sometimes another part of the country can tell you. Why is your website speed so important? has some good website performance checking tips. Similarly, any page analytics you can find courtesy of your website hosting provider will give you an indication of page load speed and page load times, bounce rate and other traffic-related indicators on their dashboard page.

A CDN server is one of many storage servers strategically placed around the world. The CDN service delivers your cached or stored content (or what is on your website) to multiple worldwide CDN servers.

Once you deploy a CDN service, when someone looks up your website, they now retrieve it from the closest CDN edge server. Called an edge server because it’s the closest edge (country-wise) to your location. Because this data has a shorter distance to travel, the CDN server reduces latency (load time delays).

A CDN network is made up of edge servers, located at multiple points of presence (PoP). These edge servers around the world store content from your origin server (your hosting provider). A CDN PoP is the distribution network. Imagine pins on a world map, equal distances apart.

CDN provides advanced edge server content storage so your website content is available on all CDN edge servers for longer. The instant purge feature, available in your dashboard and in your content management system (like EasyWP), means you can delete content and it will be erased worldwide and instantly.
