A CDN (Content Delivery Network) distributes your content across geographically dispersed servers worldwide, serving users from the nearest edge location to minimise latency and bandwidth costs. Standard hosting typically uses a single origin server (or small cluster), resulting in slower load times for users far from the data centre and higher origin bandwidth costs.
Choose Cloudflare if you want best value, bundled security, and ease of use at any scale. Akamai if you're an enterprise needing guaranteed SLAs, lowest latency, and edge computing at any cost. AWS CloudFront if you're already invested in AWS and want seamless S3 and Lambda integration without vendor switching.
Cache purge removes stale content from edge servers, forcing them to fetch fresh content from your origin. Instant purge (milliseconds, as Fastly offers) matters for media publishers and e-commerce who need to update prices, images, or corrections in real-time without waiting minutes for caches to expire naturally.
