A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is all about getting a website to load faster for all visitors, wherever they are in the world.<\/h1>\n

Gone are the days when having locally based servers would enhance the load times of your website. Today this is done by caching\u00a0(storing) copies of your website on servers at the network edge. As an example, if you have your website hosted at data centre in the UK, there might be a delay if you try to access that site from the Australia. Using what is called a Point of Presence (POP), a copy of your website is stored on a server closer to the website visitor.
\nMultiple copies of your website\u2019s data is stored at different POPs around the world, so your website will load faster in remote places. Your visitors will navigate your website more efficiently, wherever they are.
\nWhile it\u2019s good for users, it also helps your website in other ways. Search engines love fast-loading sites so there\u2019s an SEO benefit<\/a> to having a CDN.<\/strong>
\nROI Designs’ web hosting company, Full Fat Hosting<\/a><\/strong> has its very own CDN and our CDN offers the same edge caching features as paid CDNs from providers like Cloudflare.
\nYou can purge the cache in a click to make instant updates and nuisance visitors can be blocked by IP address or even by country.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
