Faster Page Load Times
Content is served from the edge location nearest to each visitor; load times shorten, bounce rates drop, and visitors stay on your site longer.
CDN ServiceContent Delivery Network
Eliminate latency and lower your costs for data-intensive applications with our CDN service.
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a distributed system made up of servers positioned at more than 100 locations around the world. With a CDN service, when this structure is used in the web hosting and similar services provided to you, your data is served from the location closest to you, which means faster access — while also minimising the extent to which you and your customers are affected by outages occurring in other locations.
What Is a CDN?
Shorten the distance between your users and your content.
A content delivery network (CDN) is a geographically distributed network of servers that caches your website's HTML, image, video, CSS, and JavaScript content so it can be delivered from the location closest to each user.
A CDN is not a hosting service and doesn't replace your existing hosting infrastructure; it sits in front of it, caching content at the network edge. When a user requests content, it's served — whenever possible — from this nearby edge location instead of the origin server, so data travels a shorter distance, pages load faster, and the load on the origin server is reduced.
- Serve static and cacheable content faster from edge locations.
- Reduce the impact of sudden traffic spikes and hardware failures on your origin server.
- Strengthen security with up-to-date TLS/SSL certificates and DDoS protection.

Why Use a CDN Service?
Faster, more balanced, more resilient digital services
The benefits of using a CDN service vary with the size of your site, but the core impact falls into the categories below.
Lower Bandwidth Costs
Since requests are handled by edge servers, the amount of data your origin server has to provide — and therefore your hosting costs — is reduced.
High Availability and Redundancy
Load balancing and intelligent failover mean sudden traffic spikes and hardware failures don't affect your website's availability.
Uninterrupted Access with Anycast
If a data center runs into an issue, Anycast routing automatically redirects traffic to another CDN location, keeping your site online.
Enhanced Security
With up-to-date TLS/SSL certificates and DDoS mitigation, malicious traffic is blocked at the network edge before it ever reaches your origin server.
Reduced Origin Load
Most cacheable requests are handled at the edge, easing the traffic load on your main server.
How It Works
How a CDN service delivers content
A user's request is routed to the nearest available CDN location, and content is delivered from the most efficient source.
- 01
The user requests content
The browser or app generates a request for web content.
- 02
The nearest CDN location is selected
The request is routed to the appropriate edge location based on geography and network conditions.
- 03
Content is served from cache
If the content exists at the edge, it's delivered to the user without reaching the origin.
- 04
Retrieved from the origin if needed
If the content isn't cached, it's fetched from the main server and may be stored for subsequent requests.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about our CDN service
The technical and operational questions most people ask before switching to a CDN service.
A CDN service is a Content Delivery Network that caches web content at distribution points across different geographic regions, delivering it to users from a server closer to them.
Yes. Content is served from an edge server that's geographically closer to the user; this shorter distance reduces latency. Load balancing, file compression, and TLS/SSL connection optimizations further improve page load speed.
No. A CDN is not a hosting service and doesn't replace your existing hosting infrastructure; it sits in front of it and caches content at the network edge. The right integration method is determined based on your current hosting and DNS setup.
HTML pages, images, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, documents, and similar static files are the most common use cases. Dynamic content and custom caching rules are planned according to your application’s architecture.
Yes. Because it sits at the edge of the network, a CDN can detect and block many types of malicious traffic — including DDoS attacks — before they reach the origin server, and it strengthens data security with up-to-date TLS/SSL certificates.
No. While the most dramatic benefits show up on sites with high global traffic, any site with a geographically spread-out audience can benefit from a CDN — it provides consistent performance regardless of user location and an extra layer of security.
Pricing depends on variables such as traffic volume, geographic distribution, content type, cache ratio, and technical requirements. A custom quote is prepared for enterprise needs.
Technically, the CDN can be configured to work with different origin infrastructures. Suitability and the integration method are determined after reviewing your existing system.
