# CDN

**Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)** on the IONOS Cloud platform deliver maximum speed, performance, and reliability when serving web assets to a global audience. A CDN accelerates content delivery by caching your data (images, video, scripts) at strategically placed edge locations worldwide. This technique minimizes network latency by ensuring that the data is retrieved from the nearest server.

Begin with the [<mark style="color:blue;">CDN User Guide</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/network-services/cdn) to understand the fundamental concepts and configuration options, and later follow step-by-step instructions in the following tutorial to deploy your advanced workflows:
