CDN (Content Delivery Network) Explained in 60 Seconds

What is a content delivery network? A content delivery network (CDN) is a service that minimizes the geographic distance between your visitors and your website's server to minimize page load time and maximize your customers’ experience. This video explains what content delivery networks are, how content delivery networks work, and the benefits of using content delivery networks.

With a CDN, you get access to a global network of servers that host your content physically closer to your visitors. This means that when a visitor goes to your website and downloads that picture of Grumpy Cat, they're actually downloading it from a CDN node that is close to them rather than downloading it from your source server.

Hey just wanted to say thank you.
I know why most people make these videos drone on for 15+ plus minutes when 1 minute is needed:

The goofy way youtube metrics works benefits people to make videos that are longer. Despite that 99% of the time its unnecessary.
So thanks again.
