What is a Content Distribution Network (CDN)? A CDN makes your website load faster, wherever your users are in the world. This is done by caching copies of your website on servers at our network edge around the globe.
Tekeez CDN is a network of physical, optimised servers across the world that cache the content of your website served from the Tekeez hosting platform. Our CDN makes use of the same internet exchange points used by Google, Amazon, Microsoft and many other leading tech companies.
As well as edge-caching it includes a comprehensive website speed optimisation suite. Through tools like image compression and code minification, it can drastically speed-up a website. You can turn on the recommended settings, or experiment with over 40 separate ways to boost your site speed.
Cached content of the data is then stored at CDN nodes around the world - customers from around the world connect to those CDN nodes instead of directly to our hosting platform, this will mean they're served content faster from their local node and your websites will load quicker.
Every Tekeez Unlimited Web Hosting and Tekeez Wordpress Unlimited Web Hosting user gets access to the CDN at no additional cost!.
Better speeds mean better ranking
- Content is actively cached at each node for improved complete website load times.
- Latency is reduced for requests made worldwide so your websites have a fast, global presence.
- Improved SEO for your websites. Improved load times will have a direct impact on your search engine rankings.
This improves website load times by automatically implementing web performance best practices to a website. This includes optimising images, JavaScript minification and combining CSS – all to improve website load times and the Google PageSpeed Score. This in turn positively impacts SEO and helps you develop high-performing websites.
