The website itself
CDN
Copies of your website kept close to the visitor.
What is CDN?
A CDN (content delivery network) keeps copies of a website’s files on servers around the world and serves each visitor from the nearest one. Pages load faster, the website stays up under load, and many attacks are absorbed before they reach the real server.
What it means for a small service business
For a local business the speed benefit is modest and the protection is the point. Modern hosting platforms include one without asking. It is worth knowing whether yours does.
Does your business need to do anything about CDN?
Not something to buy separately. Choose hosting that includes it.
