CDN – is short for Content Delivery Network. Most often it is a set of services with a specialized software that accelerate the delivery (“return”) of content to end user.

CDN is suitable to those who need to give statics quickly to many visitors who are far from the company’s servers (the situation is even more acute for companies that have visitors scattered over a large area, that is, even transferring servers “closer” does not make sense – all the same, most will be ” long away”).
