Application Delivery FAQs
-
What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN)?
Content delivery networks (CDNs) are the pipelines of the Internet. Working behind the scenes, they are reshaping how information is consumed online, accelerating web traffic, enhancing user experience and providing every website with the ability to truly go global. Learn more.
-
How does a CDN accelerate application delivery?
A CDN distributes and caches content across global PoPs, reducing latency and load times by bringing content closer to the users requesting it. A CDN also optimizes traffic routes and can accelerate secure connections by integrating SSL/TLS, ensuring both fast and secure data transmission. Learn more.
-
What is the difference between a CDN and a secure CDN?
Most CDNs are focused on performance first and security second. This is because the security features tend to degrade the performance. However, a secure CDN designs the CDN around security, optimizing the network architecture to ensure security does not slow down performance.
-
What are the most important buying criteria for purchasing a CDN?
The most important buying criteria when purchasing a CDN are performance and global reach. A CDN should have a robust, widely distributed network of PoPs to ensure low latency, fast content delivery, and a seamless user experience across different regions. Learn more.
-
Do more PoPs indicate better application performance?
While PoPs can provide global scale to a CDN, the number of PoPs does not necessarily indicate how well it accelerates application delivery. Other considerations, such as network load, architecture, and even peering relationships can impact how well a CDN can accelerate content to end users. Additionally, uptime is another critical factor to take into consideration when evaluating a CDN. A well-optimized CDN with fewer PoPs can often outperform one with more PoPs if the latter lacks efficiency in caching, routing, and traffic management, for example. Learn more.
-
How does caching accelerate my applications?
Caching can decrease load times, minimizes server strain, and reduces bandwidth consumption, resulting in faster content delivery and a smoother user experience, especially during high traffic periods. Caching also improves scalability, allowing websites to handle more users without performance degradation. Learn more.
