Quick answer
Use a CDN to reduce geographic latency and origin load for cacheable content, then optimize the origin path for everything that cannot be cached.
Static assets
Images, CSS and JavaScript are ideal CDN candidates because the same file can be reused across many visitors.
Full-page edge caching
Public pages can sometimes be cached at the edge, dramatically reducing origin requests when cache rules are correct.
Dynamic limitations
Checkout, accounts, personalized dashboards and APIs often require origin processing and careful cache exclusions.
Where Cloudways enters the decision
