CDN (Content Delivery Network)
A CDN (content delivery network) is a spread-out network of servers that keeps copies of your site's files close to where visitors are. When someone loads your page, the nearest server answers, so the site feels faster no matter where they are.
Why does a CDN matter to your business?
Speed affects sales and search rankings. A visitor on the other side of the country — or the world — should not wait longer just because your server is far away. A CDN also absorbs traffic spikes and adds a layer of protection against certain attacks.
At Nabee, sensible performance setup is part of the build and the ongoing Maintenance Plan, so you are not the one configuring a delivery network. The point of one partner is that speed is handled, not added to your to-do list.
A concrete example
An app landing page or a booking platform used across regions benefits when images and pages load from a nearby server. Faster loads keep the people you paid to attract from bouncing before the page even appears.

Common questions
- Do I need a CDN for a small site?
- Even small sites benefit from faster loads and steadier performance. Nabee sets up sensible performance defaults so you do not have to decide.
- Does a CDN cost extra?
- Performance setup is part of a Nabee build and the Maintenance Plan rather than a separate line item you configure yourself.
- What is the difference between a CDN and hosting?
- Hosting is where your site lives; a CDN caches copies near visitors to speed delivery. They work together.
