In simple words, CDN for e-commerce is an accelerator of the interaction of an online store with customers. It allows websites to communicate with customers in real-time, no matter where they are in the world.
CDN in Technical Terms
CDN is some kind of network infrastructure distributed over large geographical areas that allows it to quickly deliver content to the end-user. This distribution is achieved by installing caching servers in different locales. The more such places, the more efficient the entire network works. For example, a provider of CDN and Cloud services G-Core Labs has more than 140 server locations and more than 11,000 peering partners.

The Life of Your Online Store With and Without CDN
Imagine that your online store exists in reality, then the arrival of the consumer at your location would look like this:
● Without CDN: the consumer enters the trading floor and sees nothing and no one, only empty space. Five minutes later, shelves with goods appear. Attempts to wait for the consultant lead to nothing. As a result, the visitor turns around and goes to another store.
● With CDN: The doors of the trading floor open themselves in front of the client. The shelves are full of enticing goods. Helpful friendly consultants are waiting for him at the very entrance and immediately answer all his questions
This is also the case with loading your store page on the Internet: without CDN, a client can sit for hours in front of a blank screen until he gets bored and finds a more technically advanced site.
In a world of high competition, the faster you get close to the consumer, the more likely it is that he will choose your online store. To instantly interact with the consumer, you need high-speed content delivery. With this function, CDN from G-Core Labs copes perfectly.
