What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN)?

A CDN is a global network of servers all connected via the internet, allowing you to serve web content rapidly to customers, no matter where they are located.

CDN technology has obvious economic advantages if you expect or experience site visits from locations all over the world. Simply because when a high number of site visitors are selecting the same page or content simultaneously, the CDN sends the content to every one of those visitors without them experiencing delays or time-out.

UKFast provide bespoke Content Delivery Network (CDN) services within all of our state-of-the-art data centres, delivered in partnership with global CDN provider, Level 3.

How does CDN work?

With CDN you supply specific website content e.g. images onto multiple servers. This content is then duplicated onto multiple servers that are geographically located close to your customers, and content delivered to visitors based on proximity.

Your content exists in multiple copies on strategically dispersed servers across the globe. A large CDN can have thousands of servers, making it possible to provide identical content to many users efficiently and reliably even at times of maximum internet traffic or during sudden spikes in demand.

When a specific page, file, or program is requested by a user, the server closest to that user is dynamically determined, optimising the speed with which the content is delivered to that user, so enhancing their experience.
