Benefits of Using MaxCDN in Word Press:

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a collection of global servers which holds the copies of all your photos, videos and even all the other assorted files in several locations and serves your guests with those saved data. A CDN is distributed throughout a region or part of the world. It is an interconnected system of computers on the internet that provides web content rapidly to many users by duplicating the content on multiple servers and directing the content to users based on proximity. When a user requests a web page, content on that page is delivered by the closest edge server and not the original server, thereby decreasing page load time.

MAXCDN is a choice of CDN which was started by Chris Ueland in 2009. They offer a wide array of CDN services including specialized services for major content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Magneto. With solutions for both one-man websites and enterprise level companies, MAXCDN has quickly acclaimed the title of #1 CDN brand.

The following are the benefits of using MAXCDN in WordPress:

Less load on the server – as it distributes the load to multiple servers, the load on the original server will be less.

Improved performance – performance will be improved since the original server carries less load.

Reduced host server’s bandwidth 

Load balancing during traffic spikes – the load will be balanced equally across the globe (to multiple servers)

Increased speed – Having international users and having a spike in hits, a CDN can radically change the speed load. International users, can access a local CDN server and get their data faster without overloading a single server.

The dashboard of MAXCDN runs through NetDNA (an enterprise level CDN provider) and they look really neat.

It provides different “zones” based on your data. There are five different zones:

Pull zone – for images, css files, js files, etc. these files have automatic purging and caching.

Push zone – zone optimized for files which are bigger than installers, eBooks, and pdfs. These files don’t get purged or deleted.

VOD zone – it is for flash, real player files, etc. it is basically for audio and video streaming.

Live zone – this zone is for live video or audio being streamed.

Crash resistance - CDN distribute the load to multiple servers instead of having 100% traffic to our main server thus making it less likely to crash.

Improved user experience - Since the site is faster, you can decrease your site’s bounce rate, and increase your page views and number of pages viewed by each user.

Improvement in SEO - As per Google norms, the faster sites will be ranked higher in Search Engines. If the site is well optimized then definitely there will be a greater improvements in the SEO.
