If you have a website with global visitors, high traffic spikes, or a lot of images or videos, your page load time may be less than ideal. Even after optimizing images, implementing server-side caching, and minimizing content, you may still want to make improvements to your site's performance. One of the best ways to achieve this is by setting up a Content Delivery Network (CDN). 

A CDN is a series of networked, geographically-distributed servers that store and deliver a site's content using the server that is closest to each individual visitor. Normally, your host delivers content from a single server in a set place regardless of each visitor's location. This can weigh down that server and reduce performance. 

A CDN distributes that weight more efficiently, improving page speed and reducing load on your server. 

Once you've determined that your site needs a CDN, you'll want to find the provider that best fits your needs. There are a variety of things to consider including ease of use, performance and reliability, useful features, and cost.
