CDN
Content Delivery Network
cloudeasy
A CDN is a globally distributed network of servers that caches website content close to users, making sites faster and more resilient. Beyond performance, CDNs absorb distributed denial of service attacks and often bundle web application firewalls and bot protection. Most major websites sit behind a CDN, making it a critical layer of internet infrastructure.

Tools worth considering
- Sucuri → Cloud WAF, malware scanning, and hacked-site cleanup for CMS-run websites. A filter in front of your site, not a substitute for patching.
Affiliate links: the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you (how this works). No single tool is a silver bullet; treat each as one layer of coverage.
