A Content Delivery Network (CDN) speeds up your site by storing copies of your content on servers around the world. So, when someone visits your site, they get data from the server closest to them. This cuts down on travel time for the data, which means your pages load faster. CDNs also ease the load on your main server, keeping things running smoothly even during traffic spikes.
