Google Cloud CDN

A Content Delivery Network (or CDN) is a service operating across a widely distributed system of servers to bring web content to an end-user based on the end-user's geographic location. A server optimally situated to deliver the best performance and fastest load times is determined algorithmically, with the goal of noticeably improving the end-user's experience (e.g. reduced page load time). Alternately, cost may be prioritized over performance.

We use Google Cloud CDN or content delivery network for CDN needs of our organisational content. It's being used to serve the static content from internet for faster loading of content to portal users and to load css and java scripts as static content over the CDN. It's one of the best to spread the static content over the internet.

It is one of the best CDN in the market as it has google at its back, it has the highest uptime.
This really helps us to reduce the loading time of content as well as site, blog or portal.

It needs very much learning experience. Beginners have to learn so much before actually setting it up.
Not so good for small organisations as the pricing is higher than other options.

Reduced the portal loading time saves time.
Promotional mails opens in few seconds when clicked, generates a little bit of confidence in the end users.
