Three major factors affecting CDN acceleration

With the trend of digital transformation, enterprises have transferred their business platforms to the Internet, but the previous website configuration obviously cannot meet the existing traffic, often causing access congestion, slow page loading and other problems. The emergence of CDN has greatly alleviated the network congestion, but many people have found that the effect of using CDN to accelerate their websites is not obvious. Why is this?

There are many factors that affect the CDN acceleration effect. The following are the three most common factors:

Node coverage

CDN acceleration utilizes nodes distributed all over the world. When users visit, they will first access the CDN node closest to them, and distribute the website resources nearby. If we find that the effect of CDN acceleration is not obvious, we can check whether the CDN accelerated nodes cover all target user groups, or if there is a coverage error, and then make adjustments.

Optimization of source site content

CDN acceleration is mainly aimed at the distribution of static files such as website images, texts, audio and video. If the static files of the website are not optimized, it will also affect the effect of CDN acceleration. By checking whether the size of various files on the source site is reasonable and the domain name splitting, you can determine whether the source site is optimized.

CDN Acceleration Strategy

CDN acceleration can perform different resource configurations and strategy applications for different industries. After a website is connected to CDN, it should immediately deploy strategies for using cache and mirroring, and update node information in a timely manner to ensure that the data accessed by users is synchronized with the source site.

The above are the three most common issues that affect CDN acceleration. In addition, DNS resolution speed, bandwidth issues, IDC node interconnection and other issues will all affect the effect of CDN acceleration. When using CDN acceleration, websites need to be checked and optimized frequently to achieve the best effect of CDN acceleration.
