CDN

Abbreviation for Content Delivery Network

In short and in plain language

A CDN is a network of many servers in different places.

It sends pictures and files from a place close to the visitor.

This way shop pages can load faster. The shop's own server has less work to do.

Scripts that are built into a page often come from such a network too.

Definition
A CDN is a network of distributed servers that delivers images and files from a location close to the visitor. Shop pages can load faster as a result and the shop's own server is relieved. Embedded scripts also often come from a CDN.
