Lightning fast browsing and searching for your global users.
Anytime a user wants to access a piece of web content (e.g., a web page, image or video) it is sent to them from a server, which is physically located somewhere in the world.
The further away from the server the user is, the longer it will take for the content to arrive.
For example, if a user is accessing an Asset Bank from Australia, but the Asset Bank is hosted on a server in the UK, then every asset will have to travel a significant physical distance before the user receives it.
Content delivery networks (CDNs) are a system of distributed servers used to distribute content worldwide with minimum latency.
They allow users in different locations worldwide to receive content (e.g., images or videos) as quickly as possible, regardless of their physical location, by making the files available across multiple different servers located across the world.
Using Amazon CloudFront CDN with your Asset Bank provides several key advantages:
Faster load times worldwide – Content is delivered from geographically closer servers, reducing latency.
Improved user experience – Pages especially those with multiple image thumbnails – load much more quickly.
Better performance for high-demand pages – Search and browse results, which typically place the greatest load on servers, become significantly more responsive.
Increased efficiency – Users can access and work with assets more quickly, no matter where they are based.
Amazon CloudFront CDN can be enabled as part of your Asset Bank setup and is available to customers using our shared or dedicated hosting platforms. Once activated:
Your content is automatically distributed across a global network of servers.
Users are served content from the nearest available location.
No changes are required from end users – they will simply experience faster load times when browsing and searching.
For more detailed technical information, you can refer to the official documentation provided by Amazon Web Services.
