What is a CDN and why is it important?

The acronym CDN stands for Content Delivery Network: a CDN establishes a globally distributed network of edge servers between your website’s origin server and your visitors’ location.

Once the content of your site passes through them for the first time, the edge servers keep a copy of the static content (images, CSS, and JavaScript files) and then deliver it to the end-users, allowing them to access the content a lot faster. Here’s an in-depth guide to learning more about what’s a CDN and how it works.

With a CDN, every HTTP request made by your users will be served from the nearest location possible, no matter where they’re geographically located.

If your website is serving a broad international audience, reaching people all over the world, the distance between your website’s server and your users is one of the crucial factors of web performance.

Think of a Content Delivery Network as a bridge that makes users closer to the websites they’re visiting, no matter where they are around the globe!

Using a CDN has many benefits, one of them is to help your site improve both PageSpeed Insights score and Core Web Vitals grades.

What about pagespeed insights and the core web vitals?

If you think that Google loves fast and secure websites, we can indeed confirm that enabling a CDN on your site is also beneficial for SEO and the PageSpeed Insights performance score. In fact, using a Content Delivery Network can boost the Largest Contentful Paint score – one of the Core Web Vitals metrics.

A CDN also helps address two PageSpeed Insights recommendations, such as Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy and Enable text compression.

Furthermore, a CDN can also have a positive impact on your server response time. Server response time is the amount of time required between the moment a visitor makes a request (clicks on a link for example) to the moment the server responds to that request. According to Google PageSpeed Insights, you should aim for a server response time of less than 200 ms. The response time of a server is typically measured with what is known as time to first byte (TTFB).
