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.

Generating HTML on the server before sending to browsers, improving initial load performance and SEO. SSR provides complete content to search engines and faster first paint for users. Framer uses server-side rendering for optimal performance and SEO.

A group of user interactions with a website occurring within a time frame, typically resetting after 30 minutes of inactivity. Sessions provide context for analyzing user behavior patterns and conversion paths. Track session-based metrics to understand how users engage over visits.

A distributed network of servers that delivers web content from locations geographically closest to each visitor, reducing latency and improving load times. CDNs also provide redundancy and protection against traffic spikes or server failures. Framer hosts all sites on a global CDN automatically for optimal worldwide performance.

The process of fetching and rendering a webpage, measured from request to full interactivity. Page load speed affects user experience, conversion rates, and search rankings. Monitor load performance and optimize bottlenecks regularly.

An introductory screen displayed while an application loads, typically showing branding or loading progress. Splash screens set expectations and provide visual continuity during load times. Keep splash screens brief—users want to reach content quickly.

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) quantifies visual instability by measuring how much elements move unexpectedly during page load and interaction.

Time to First Byte (TTFB) is a server-response metric that indicates how quickly the browser receives the first byte of a page response.

In Framer, static generation helps performance by serving ready-made pages wherever possible, reducing runtime work and making published sites feel faster.

Framer uses global delivery infrastructure to help pages, images, scripts, and assets reach visitors quickly across regions, improving perceived speed and reliability.

In Framer, code splitting supports faster initial loads by avoiding unnecessary JavaScript on first view and loading additional code only when it becomes relevant.
