Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) dramatically improve website performance by serving content from edge locations closer to visitors. Proper CDN integration maximizes speed and reduces server load.
What is a CDN?
A CDN is a network of distributed servers that cache and deliver content from locations near users, reducing latency and improving load times.
Benefits of CDN integration
- Faster load times – Content served from nearby locations
- Reduced server load – Offloads static asset delivery
- Better global performance – Consistent speeds worldwide
- DDoS protection – Many CDNs include attack mitigation
- Bandwidth savings – Reduces origin server bandwidth usage
CDN integration strategies
1. Full-site CDN
Routes all traffic through CDN, providing maximum performance but requiring DNS changes.
2. Asset-only CDN
Serves only static assets (images, CSS, JS) through CDN while keeping HTML on origin server. Easier to implement.
3. Hybrid approach
Combines both strategies: critical assets via CDN, dynamic content from origin.
CDN caching configuration
- Static assets – Long cache times (1 year+)
- HTML pages – Shorter cache times or no cache
- API responses – Short cache or no cache
- Cache headers – Proper Cache-Control configuration
Performance optimization tips
- Enable compression – Gzip/Brotli compression on CDN
- Use HTTP/2 – Modern protocol support
- Optimize images – Serve WebP format via CDN
- Minify assets – Compress CSS and JavaScript
- Monitor cache hit ratio – Aim for 80%+ hit rate
