Online consumers are known to abandon web pages with slow load times — that means you need your website or mobile app to be fast to delight visitors. To speed up your web assets, you need a content delivery network (CDN).
What is a content delivery network?
It’s one acronym in a sea of marketing acronyms that all relate to the inner workings of your business.
To understand what a CDN is, imagine you have a website hosted on a server in Denver, Colorado. We don’t often think about websites as being in a physical location because the internet makes it seem everywhere, but a website and all of its content assets have to be based in what’s called an origin server.
