If, for example, you operate an online store that regularly generates visits from customers all over the world, then using a content delivery network could be very helpful for you. Since the loading speed of a website is critical for a business, your online store should load just as quickly for users in Australia as for users in the United States. If it doesn't, you could lose this customer to another online store that has faster-loading content. In other words, the more your clientele is spread around the world, the more you should rely on a CDN. The content delivery network also provides quicker loading times for websites that have a lot of dynamic content. But websites with static content such as images and Flash animations or JavaScript elements also load faster thanks to the CDN. The same applies if the number of website visitors is extremely high at peak times. By distributing the different access attempts over the network, the loading speed always remains constant.
