CDN
Content Delivery Network
A network of servers in many cities. They keep copies of your website, so each visitor gets it from the nearest place and the page loads faster.
What is a CDN for?
Your website loads quickly even for people far away from the main server, and heavy traffic is spread across many machines.
Do you need to set anything up?
Usually not. Cloudflare, for example, turns on its CDN by itself when your website is hosted there.
