Common Uses of Google Cloud CDN
- Improving Website Performance: Accelerating the delivery of web content such as images, videos, and static assets to users worldwide, resulting in faster website loading times and improved user experience.
- Global Content Distribution: Distributing content across Google’s extensive network of edge locations worldwide, ensuring low-latency access to content for users regardless of their geographic location.
- Bandwidth Cost Reduction: Offloading traffic from origin servers by caching content at edge locations, reducing bandwidth consumption and lowering operational costs associated with serving content.
What is Google Cloud CDN?
Cloud CDN will cache the content at edge locations that are located around the world. By doing so, we can reduce the latency, which improves the performance of our applications. It will enable users to access the content from nearby edge locations, regardless of the app or website you have, there’s a reasonable probability that your users are dispersed across the globe and aren’t necessarily local to your servers.
This implies that the requests go over a wide area of the public internet, resulting in unpredictable and annoying user experiences. In this situation, Cloud CDN is useful.
