Are You Selecting the Right CDN Vendor? Is the CDN Service Optimized for Your Users?
Your users’ proximity to your web servers has a significant impact on response times. Content delivery networks (CDNs) let you deploy your content (or entire web site) across multiple, geographically dispersed servers to make your pages load faster for end users.
But Which CDN Should You Choose? How Do You Optimize Your CDN?
CDNs can distribute static and multimedia content to accelerate delivery of your web sites and supplement your infrastructure to help you reach far-off visitor locales. Companies need to choose CDNs carefully and objectively measure CDN performance to quantify the benefits that each CDN provides to its end users in key geographies. You need to evaluate CDN performance to be sure the network solves your specific problem and validates your investment. Once a CDN is selected, you need to ensure both ongoing service delivery and service level agreement (SLA) compliance. It is important to establish whether, over time, the CDN continues to provide a significant improvement in performance for all your users.
