Content Distribution Network (CDN): A geographically distributed network of servers and data centers that work together to provide fast delivery of internet content. By caching content at the network edge, closest to users, it minimizes latency and accelerates site load times, making it particularly useful for handling heavy content such as video or during traffic spikes.
