Do you need CDN with cloud hosting?

CDN is a content delivery network that looks like a set of geographically distributed servers that store content in a compressed form and, if necessary, quickly transfer this content from one server to another and the end user. The largest provider of CDN hosting for various sites is the company G-Core Labs, which unites the largest number of servers located in different corners of the world.

CDN from G-Core Labs delivers style sheets, HTML, JavaScript files, images, and videos in seconds. This happens so fast that on the user side, it takes a fraction of a second to load content instead of 20 or 30 seconds. Most international platforms already use CDN for that. Such giants as Amazon or Netflix in this way ensure that their sites load quickly and are resistant to DDoS attacks.

How does CDN work?

Most of the page content is static data, such as fonts, styles, images, or video content. These data are ideal for caching because they remain unchanged. By transferring such data from the server to the client, the CDN ensures the desired page loading speed on the site visitor’s side. External sites with CDN and those using only regular web hosting are no different. However, a significant difference occurs precisely when the consumer tries to open this or that page of the site on their device.
