A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of geographically distributed servers that work together to deliver web content, such as images, videos, and scripts, to users more efficiently. The primary purpose of a CDN is to reduce latency and improve load times by caching content closer to the end user. This not only enhances the user experience but also reduces the load on the origin server and can help with handling high traffic volumes and mitigating DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks.
