A CDN is a geographically distributed network of servers that work together to deliver content to end users with high availability and performance.
CDNs reduce latency by caching content closer to the end users.
When a user requests content from a website or application that utilizes a CDN, the request is redirected to the nearest CDN server instead of the origin server.
If the requested content is already cached on the CDN server, it is served directly from the cache, eliminating the need to retrieve it from the origin server. This reduces the distance the data has to travel and minimizes the response time.
