A Content Delivery Network (CDN) works by providing users with a network of servers to download resources (usually static content such as CSS, JavaScript and images). These servers are distributed throughout the world and therefore geographically closer to the end-users. This results in faster response and download times due to reduced latency.

CDN benefits include:

• Faster content delivery - a better user experience for your customers.
• Less load on the origin - more resources for other tasks.
• Increased reliability - handle traffic spikes and reduce system overload.
• Reduced cost - bandwidth is expensive where CDNs offer better prices.
• Scalability - Scale up or down within a short period of time.
