Why You Should Use A CDN

by admin on June 30, 2011


Over the past year there has been a growing trend of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). If you’re a blogger, you should probably consider getting a CDN for its significant benefits. Although it can be a bit pricey, the results could be worthwhile. Here’s our guide of CDNs.

CDNs can work wonders because they help by decreasing the server load while increasing the speed on your site. Using a CDN allows for your content or application to be off-loaded onto servers globally. This allows visitors to retrieve content from the server that’s nearest which results in a big boost in loading time. In addition, Google have been known to reward fast-loading sites with better rankings. In conclusion, CDN’s are more of a “premium” but the results can be beneficial to your site.

If you’re interested in finding a provider, I would recommend MaxCDN and MediaTemple’s ProCDN. I have used both of them and can vouch for the excellent service they have provided me with.
