It is a system of servers distributed around the world to optimise the delivery of digital content, such as images, videos and other static or dynamic web content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of a CDN include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Faster load times: as content is stored on different servers spread around the world, it can be quickly delivered to users from the nearest server, resulting in faster load times and a better user experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved performance: CDNs can help reduce the load on your native web server, which can lead to improved performance and reduced risk of server overload.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher reliability: if your site is hosted on a single server, a failure or maintenance issue may cause your site to go offline temporarily. With a CDN, there are multiple servers to distribute the load, resulting in higher reliability and uptime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better security: some CDNs offer additional security features such as DDoS protection and web application firewalls to protect your site from malicious activity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, a CDN can help improve the performance, reliability and security of your website and optimise the user experience.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","docs-categorie":[63],"class_list":["post-33934","kennisbank","type-kennisbank","status-publish","hentry","docs-categorie-hosting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/impression.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kennisbank\/33934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/impression.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kennisbank"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/impression.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kennisbank"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/impression.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"docs-categorie","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impression.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs-categorie?post=33934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
