What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and how it works?

 

Content Delivery Network or CDN is a collection of multiple geographically distributed servers to distribute the static content more efficiently to the user. The End user has access to a copy of the data closest to the his /her geographical location, as opposed to all visitors accessing the same main server, to avoid the physical data transfer bottlenecks.

Notice the language :  “… to distribute the static content more efficiently…” .  Content Delivery Network (CDN) can only be used to deliver the static content like Static HTML files, CSS Files, Java Scripts, images, compressed documents, Audio and Video. It can not be used to store dynamic files like PHP.

For WordPress, there are several plugins which can synchronize the updated, modified or newly added static files.

Most common example of  using Content Delivery Network (CDN) service is perhaps the image or rich media Advertisements. The image and rich media are delivered through a Content Delivery Network for faster loading of the Ads.
