A CDN is a network of servers that work together to deliver web content to users.

CDNs cache content from websites and deliver it from the server closest to the user, improving speed and reducing latency.

When a user requests content, the CDN determines the server closest to the user and delivers the content from that server.

CDNs also provide additional security measures such as DDoS protection and SSL encryption.

CDNs can be used for various types of content including images, videos, scripts, and other static files.

CDNs can help to reduce bandwidth costs for website owners, as the CDN can handle a large portion of the traffic.

CDNs may also improve website reliability, as they can serve as a backup in case the origin server goes down.
