CDN Analytics
Tools and services offered by CDN providers to give insights into content delivery metrics, performance, and user engagement.
TTL (Time to Live)
A setting in CDNs that specifies how long cached content stays on an edge server before it is considered stale and needs to be refreshed from the origin server.
Cloudflare
A CDN and security company that provides services such as DDoS attack mitigation and Internet security.
HTTPS/SSL
Security protocol used by CDNs to encrypt data transmission between the end-user and the CDN, ensuring secure delivery of content.
CloudFront
Amazon Web Services (AWS) CDN that distributes content globally with low latency and high transfer speeds.
Anycast Routing

Video Streaming
A use case for CDNs where large files such as video content are delivered in real-time or on-demand to users with minimal buffering and high quality.
Geo-Targeting
A feature of CDNs that allows content to be served to users based on their geographic location.
Cache Hit Ratio
A performance metric that represents the percentage of requests that were served from the CDN cache as opposed to the origin server.
Edge Computing
A distributed computing paradigm which brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, to improve response times and save bandwidth.
CDN Caching
The process of storing copies of files in a CDN so that they are more quickly accessible to the user upon subsequent requests.
CDN Interconnection (CDNI)
An IETF project which aims to standardize how different CDNs interconnect and share content to better enable efficient content delivery across CDN provider boundaries.
