How to Use CDN or Content Delivery Networks for your website or app
This post marks the beginning of a new series of posts on Content Delivery Networks or CDNs. In this series, learn more about the world of CDNs and how they can benefit your website or app. Since 2019, I have dabbled with a variety of CDNs for this site as well as for our podcasting site at gaathastory.com and later for this blog. Some of the CDNs we have used and tested include free and premium services. We have used services for podcasting, such as Audioboom, podcast.co and Spreaker. CDNs for images include BunnyCDN, Gumlet, Droplr. We also have content delivery networks for scripts (such as jsdelivr), fonts, documents, and of course video (YouTube and Vimeo can be considered).
