On the blog, we’ve previously covered how our CDN services ensure smooth content delivery for websites, e-commerce, video streaming, and gaming, and today we’re highlighting Edge CDN for WordPress.
What is a CDN?
A CDN is a global network of servers that store copies of content from a website in an edge server located close to the user rather than in the host server. With content stored on the CDN closer to the user, files can be delivered more quickly and smoothly from the edge server.
Edge CDN for WordPress
ALTERNcloud’s Edge CDN for WordPress delivers your content faster to your website visitors with strategically located cache servers across the globe. Initial server response time is dramatically reduced, size of transferring files is reduced with compression algorithms, and most importantly, your page load times are dramatically reduced with more than 180 points of presence — meaning more satisfied users. A faster webpage also helps your website gain a better SEO ranking.
