6 CDN basics for business owners.

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:30.000
Start at the origin

Website hosting · Original files · Origin server

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:42.000
Add a network of servers
A CDN distributes delivery across different locations.
Multiple locations · Visitor requests · Nearby delivery

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:54.000
Reuse suitable content
Images and other public files can be cached for reuse.
Public images · Styles and scripts · Cached copies

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Keep hosting in the plan
A CDN still needs access to the original content.
Origin connection · Hosting service · Delivery network

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:18.000
Plan how updates appear
Cache settings affect when visitors receive new files.
Expiry rules · Cache refresh · Updated content

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:30.000
Measure the actual result
Check important pages before and after enabling it.
Loading experience · Correct content · Working forms
