DatacenterA Content Delivery Network (CDN) is all about making a website load faster for all users, wherever they are in the world.
This is done by storing (caching) copies of your website on servers at the network edge. For example, if your website is hosted at a US data center, there might be a delay if you try to access that site from the UK. So a copy of your website is stored on a server closer to the user, called a Point of Presence (POP).
Multiple copies of your site’s data are stored at different POPs throughout the world, so your site will load faster in remote places. Your users will navigate your site more efficiently, wherever they are.
While it's good for users, the Hetacloud CDN has other advantages. Search engines love fast-loading sites, so there’s an SEO benefit to having a CDN.
If your website is bloated, it may load slowly even if you use our fast hosting and Hetacloud CDN. Our Website Acceleration Suite slims-down the data payload of your site, without affecting its appearance or function.
Slow-loading images are the bane of website performance. Our image CDN will scan your images and resize them for the appropriate size for mobile and desktop.
‘Raw’ images often contain information that can be removed or compressed without a visible loss in quality. The Hetacloud CDN will compress your images ‘on the fly’, saving you time.
Our image optimization tools will convert files to fast-loading next-gen image formats like JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP.
We can minify and strip whitespace from our code. Our CDN will compress HTML, CSS and JavaScript files to reduce time spent parsing, compiling and executing it. Network payload is reduced, so sites load faster.
Only load what’s going to be presented to the user immediately: what’s going to be seen first. Your above-the-fold content will appear in a browser more quickly by deferring off-screen images or other non-critical resources.
Give your site a performance boost on mobile and desktop with a single click. A simple risk-free solution that will give you better PageSpeed scores.

All about the CDN
For any company that has an international presence – or a new business that would like an international presence – a CDN is important. It means that your website will load fast anywhere in the world.
Fast sites lead to more sales and better search performance. Whether you want to make money from home, or already run a successful online business, you need a CDN.
You might think CDN may not be important to you if you’re a local ‘bricks and mortar’ business that only serves your nearby community. That’s understandable, but having a fast site gives you SEO advantages, even locally. So even if you don’t have an international market, it’s still worth activating your free CDN and making use of its website speed acceleration.
