Definition

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a distributed set of servers that cache and deliver web content from locations closer to users, reducing latency and load on the origin server.

Real-World Example

A news site serves images and videos through a CDN so readers worldwide load pages faster than if every request hit one central server.
