Caching can make a website dramatically faster, but the word “cache” describes several layers that store different things in different places.
The aim is to connect the technology with everyday operational decisions. A CDN can cache and serve content close to visitors, absorb traffic and reduce repeated work at the origin.
Network, cloud and connectivity failures show why resilience depends on multiple layers rather than a single platform.
Global connectivity relies on multiple paths, independent networks and mechanisms that can reroute traffic around failures.
A CDN brings content closer to visitors and reduces dependence on a single delivery point.
