CDN

Content Delivery Network—a distributed network of servers that delivers web content from locations geographically closest to each visitor. CDNs dramatically reduce latency and load times for global audiences while providing redundancy if one server fails. Framer hosts all sites on a global CDN automatically, ensuring fast performance worldwide without additional configuration.
