What is a CDN and what does it do?
A Content Delivery Network is a geographically distributed network of proxy servers and data centers that places copies of your website's content on servers around the world, so content sits closer to users for high availability and fast performance.
Video Platform, Integrations & API
How does a CDN actually work?
It replicates your content — text, images, CSS, JavaScript, and streaming media — across servers in many locations, routes each user request to the nearest server, and fulfills it from there, cutting travel distance, origin load, and bandwidth use.

How does a CDN reduce latency?
CDNs cache your content at points of presence in multiple geographical locations and direct each request to the closest one. Shortening the physical distance data must travel directly cuts page load time.
Video Platform, Integrations & API
Can a CDN handle sudden traffic spikes?
Yes. By distributing traffic across numerous servers, a CDN prevents any single server from being overwhelmed, so the site keeps loading quickly instead of slowing down or crashing under high demand.
Video Platform, Integrations & API
What content optimizations do CDNs perform?
Many CDNs offer minification of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, file compression, and image optimization. Smaller files transmit faster across the network, which shortens load times.
General, Integrations & API
Does a CDN protect against DDoS attacks?
Yes. CDNs absorb and disperse Distributed Denial of Service attacks across their vast network and filter harmful traffic before it reaches your primary server, keeping the site online during an attack.
General, Integrations & API
How does a CDN keep a website online if a server fails?
Through redundancy, load balancing, and continuous health monitoring: if one server is down or overloaded, requests are rerouted to healthy servers, avoiding a single point of failure and keeping the site accessible.
Sales & Marketing, Integrations & API
Does using a CDN help SEO?
Indirectly, yes. Site speed is a known ranking factor, and by dramatically improving load times a CDN improves user experience and can help search engine rankings.
OTT Apps, Integrations & API
What are pre-fetching and caching in a CDN?
CDNs predict which files will be requested next and pre-fetch them so they are ready instantly, and their caching policies keep frequently accessed resources readily available at edge servers.
General, Integrations & API
Why does a video streaming platform especially need a CDN?
Streaming pushes far more data than a typical website, so global delivery, uptime, and attack resilience are critical. Platforms like Vodlix integrate CDN delivery so OTT content stays fast, available, and secure for viewers everywhere.
