Where it helps
Cacheable images, styles and other resources can be served closer to visitors. Not every application operation becomes instant.
FinFly Explains / IT
A CDN brings content closer
A content delivery network distributes website resources through multiple servers.
Origin still matters
FinFly recommends measuring cached resources separately from database-backed requests. The origin can remain a bottleneck.
Check the rules
Review retention, corrected-file invalidation and private-page exclusions. A CDN is not a backup.
