What are CDNs?
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) create replicas of your website content and store it in POPs, or points of presence, around the globe. When a website visitor requests your website, the location closest to the request supplies your website data at lightning speed.
CDNs also work to keep your website online in the event of an outage. If one data centre storing your website data should go offline for any amount of time, Cloudflare will pick up where the other data centre left off from other locations without missing a beat. This all happens behind the scenes, without your website visitors being aware.
What Cloudflare can do for you:
DDoS Protection
Cloudflare increases your website security by examining your website traffic and preventing malicious attempts before they even begin.
Site Content Caching
Cloudflare instantly caches copies of your website to help you stay online longer and deliver website content faster.
Increased Uptime
If one of your locations should suffer downtime, Cloudflare makes sure that your website traffic doesn’t notice the difference by allowing a different location to pick up the slack.
Boosted Speed
Your data will be stored in 35 different locations around the world to drastically cut latency, and put your data where it needs to be.
