What is a CDN and why do I need it for my WordPress site?

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers that deliver web content to users based on their geographic location. For WordPress sites, CDN integration offers several key benefits:

  • Faster page loading times worldwide
  • Reduced server load on your hosting
  • Better SEO rankings due to improved speed
  • Enhanced security against DDoS attacks

You can easily integrate CDN with WordPress using plugins like WP Fastest Cache or W3 Total Cache. These plugins handle the technical aspects of CDN integration while providing user-friendly interfaces for configuration.
