*C D N IS SIMPLY CACHING OF WEB CONTENT AT MULTIPLE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS 😊*

Thank you, Chris. I thought it was a short form for CanaDiaN.

CDN, especially free Cloudflare is great in a combination with cloud hosting like Google Cloud. Thanks to Cloudflare you can cache all of the static content and not only make is super quick to load (~50ms per request), but also minimize number of requests to Google Cloud instances. Thanks to that you can stick with Google Cloud free tier, make site load as quick as from local, expensive server and you get free SSL certificates on both ends. I love such combination. It's a game changer for me.

Thank you never heard of this. I don't need it for my current business however, its something to consider for another business I have in mind! *Love your channel its so unpredictable in a great way* *Just keep knocking it out of the ballpark, your channel never gets old*

I've had some issues with CDN's in the past as a user. They worked out the glitches, but it was still annoying trying to grab updates.

CloudFlare got a free tiar, it is all you need until middle bussness.

my roomate insists on having the 2nd fastest connection we can get which is 325Mb download speed.
Im usually good with 10 Mb download speed so this is overkill.
how can i make money with this extra bandwidth? cuz we are paying 3 x 90 bucks each for power/internet

i kind of had a guess since i use noscript and enabling the main site alone does not work unless i also enable the CDN. (i had a lot of head scratching making Crunchyroll work!)

Hi can you please make a video on simulator for CDN?

As a non engineer I’m fascinated how explanations I hear really tell me nothing at all.

Yo Chris, first of all love your Vids, convinced me to try KDE and love it so far. Have you ever thought of adding descriptionary Animations to illustrate what you are talking about? Sure would be additional time spent on a video but would also help you explain.

So you don't have any Russians hacking your site?

All jokes aside awesome video, and your right most people don't want to wait more a long time anymore. I remember Dial Up when I was a kid, like 1 minute to get a site to load. Internet has come a long way.
