Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Global edge network caching your content in 300+ PoPs — instant page loads worldwide.
What is Content Delivery Network (CDN)?
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) caches your website's static assets (images, CSS, JavaScript, videos) at edge locations around the world. When a visitor requests your site, assets are served from the nearest edge — not from your origin server — reducing latency by 50–80%.
Our CDN is powered by Cloudflare's global network with 300+ edge locations across 100+ countries. Every request passes through Cloudflare's security layer — DDoS protection, WAF, bot management, and rate limiting — before reaching your origin server.
Every hosting plan includes a free CDN tier with unlimited bandwidth. Premium CDN features — image optimization, Argo Smart Routing, Workers (edge compute), and Rate Limiting — are available as add-ons. Enable CDN with a single click from your hosting dashboard.
Key Features
Everything included with Content Delivery Network (CDN), ready to use from day one.
300+ Global Edge PoPs
Content cached at 300+ edge locations in 100+ countries. Visitors get content from the nearest edge — sub-50ms latency worldwide.
DDoS Protection
Network-level DDoS protection absorbing attacks up to 1 Tbps. Every CDN-enabled site is protected at no additional cost.
Web Application Firewall
WAF with managed rulesets (OWASP) and custom rules. Block SQL injection, XSS, and other attacks at the edge.
Image Optimization
Automatically resize, compress, and convert images to WebP/AVIF. Reduces image size by 50–80% with no quality loss.
Argo Smart Routing
Premium routing optimizes the path between edge and origin, reducing latency by 30% and improving TTFB.
Edge Computing (Workers)
Run JavaScript at the edge — A/B testing, redirects, personalization, and API responses without hitting your origin.
SSL at the Edge
Free SSL certificate at the edge. Visitors connect to the nearest edge via HTTPS — no SSL overhead on your origin.
Cache Purge API
Purge cached content instantly via API or dashboard. Single URL purge, wildcard purge, or purge-everything.

Use Cases & Examples
Real-world scenarios where Content Delivery Network (CDN) delivers value.
Global E-Commerce
An e-commerce site with customers worldwide needs fast page loads everywhere. CDN caches product images and static assets at edge locations, reducing load times by 70%.
Example: An online store enables CDN. A customer in Tokyo loads product images from the Tokyo edge (30ms) instead of the US origin (200ms) — page load drops from 3s to 0.8s.
High-Traffic Blog
A blog with a global audience uses CDN to handle traffic spikes. When a post goes viral, the CDN absorbs 95% of requests at the edge — the origin server barely feels the load.
Example: A blog gets 1M visitors in a day from a viral post. CDN serves 950K requests from cache, only 50K reach the origin — the origin server stays at 5% CPU instead of crashing.
Media Streaming
A video-heavy site uses CDN to stream video from edge locations. Viewers get buffer-free streaming regardless of their location.
Example: A video tutorial site serves 4K videos via CDN. A viewer in Brazil streams from the São Paulo edge — zero buffering, instant start, smooth playback.

CDN is enabled during hosting provisioning. The provisionHostingAccount function configures Cloudflare CDN for the domain, sets up DNS records to route through Cloudflare's edge network, enables the WAF and DDoS protection, and configures cache rules — all within seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CDN included with hosting?
Yes. Every hosting plan includes a free CDN tier with unlimited bandwidth, DDoS protection, and WAF. Premium features (image optimization, Argo, Workers) are available as add-ons.
Does CDN work with dynamic content?
Yes. CDN caches static assets (images, CSS, JS) at the edge. Dynamic content (PHP, database queries) passes through to your origin server — but still benefits from DDoS protection and SSL.
How do I purge the CDN cache?
Use the dashboard or API to purge specific URLs, wildcards, or everything. Purges are instant — changes appear within seconds.
Will CDN slow down my site?
No. CDN speeds up your site by caching content at edge locations closer to your visitors. The only scenario where CDN might not help is if all visitors are already near your origin server.
