CDNenabled
CDNenabled is a term used to describe websites, applications, or services that are configured to use a content delivery network (CDN) to distribute content to end users. By leveraging geographically dispersed edge servers, CDNenabled systems aim to reduce latency, increase throughput, and improve availability compared with serving all content from a single origin server.
How it works: A CDN caches static assets such as images, stylesheets, and scripts at edge nodes.
Benefits: Reduced latency and improved page load times, lower origin server load, higher resilience to traffic
Implementation: Select a CDN provider, configure the origin server in the CDN, update asset URLs or DNS
Limitations and considerations: CDNenabled adds configuration and maintenance complexity, potential cache staleness if content is not
Examples of providers include Akamai, Cloudflare, Amazon CloudFront, Fastly, Microsoft Azure CDN, and Google Cloud CDN.
