Content Delivery Networks Heighten Security And Performance

SEATTLE - Nov. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- SEATTLE, Washington (November 29, 2013) – To understand the benefit of a Content Delivery Network (CDN), one need only to consider speed and security. What makes your website valuable to both your business and your customers, is the content. What maintains the value of your content is the security network that protects it and the speed at which it is delivered. The Internet is infested with viruses, spam, and other toxic hazards looking to disturb your website. A CDN maintains a high level of content security by filtering out and denying access to harmful bots, bugs, and 10 of the most common hacker methods, ultimately increasing the speed of your site even at the busiest times.

A CDN also maximizes the performance and speed of your content’s delivery. With a network of servers dispersed around the world, CDNs act as traffic safety control for your website, blocking access to those who pose a threat while heightening the quality and speed of service to those qualified by connecting the customer to the server closest to their location. This dynamic allows users to access your webpage quickly even during an Internet rush hour. In our modern age, fast Internet is not only desired, it is expected. The difference of a few seconds can make or break a customer’s decision.

It is a trusted network that a customer invests in. The tools a CDN provides work to make your website a safe and secure resource for your current and future customers. The base level services offered by CDNs are free. Even with the most basic CDN, a website’s information is duplicated and saved on multiple servers, protecting the functionality of your page in the case of an attack. If one or more servers are deemed out of commission, the other servers will pick up the slack until the absent servers are restored. The financial savings can be monumental when considering the price tag of shutting your site down until repairs are finalized.
