A CDN is a distributed network of servers that cache and serve content closer to users. Instead of every user hitting your origin server, CDN edge nodes around the world serve cached copies. Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, and CloudFront are major CDNs. CDNs reduce latency, absorb traffic spikes, and provide DDoS protection. DNS is used to route users to the nearest edge node.
