Think of a CDN as a network of delivery trucks for your website’s content. When someone from a faraway place wants to see your website, instead of the content travelling all the way from your Server (in South Africa), the CDN stores copies of your content on servers all around the world.
So when a visitor requests your website, the content is delivered from the nearest Server, like getting your package from a local store instead of waiting for it to ship from far away. This speeds up your website’s loading time and provides a smoother experience for users – worldwide, no matter where they are.
