Azure CDN can speed up your applications by offloading traffic to Azure CDN. Azure CDN (Content Delivery Network) acts as an endpoint for your static content like video, image, JavaScript and CSS files. By having Azure CDN serve these files, your application doesn’t have to and has more resources to handle more requests. Additionally, Azure CDN replicates the static content to Points-of-Presence (PoPs) all over the world, thereby placing static content close to where your users are and limiting latency, which is good for performance.
