Alibaba Cloud CDN consists of nodes that are distributed globally. Alibaba Cloud CDN prevents congestion on the network by reducing the load on origin servers. Alibaba Cloud CDN can accelerate content delivery for websites in a variety of regions or scenarios.
Files can be cached globally using Alibaba Cloud CDN. It is possible to retrieve resources directly from edge nodes rather than origin servers. This way, content can be delivered faster, and origin servers are less stressed. Several edge nodes support IPv6.
Content Delivery Network (CDN) accelerates content delivery. Alibaba Cloud CDN reduces the physical distance between the server and the user to minimize delays while loading web content. Users worldwide can view the same high-quality content without slowing down the loading speed. Your website will load faster if you use Alibaba Cloud CDN.
Here's an example of how CDN works. Think about a situation where you have users worldwide accessing a server down on a website. People are trying to access the website while the server is down from different locations, such as Hong Kong, Beijing, and Singapore. All of them access a website hosted in the same location. For those users, the website runs slower based on how far their location is from the server. CDN can remedy this situation.
This speed is increased by reducing the distance between the user and the content. Alibaba Cloud CDN endpoints are placed as widely around the world as possible. Scheduling, links quality, caching, and support systems are all part of Alibaba Cloud CDN.
