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

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of servers distributed globally that delivers cached versions of your website’s static content to visitors from the nearest geographical location. For WordPress sites, implementing a CDN offers several key benefits:

  • Faster page loading times worldwide
  • Reduced server load on your host
  • Better SEO rankings due to improved speed
  • Enhanced user experience
  • Protection against DDoS attacks

To easily integrate a CDN with WordPress, you can use the WP Fastest Cache plugin, which includes CDN functionality alongside other performance optimization features.
