Why Azure CDN profiles and endpoints? - Purpose & Use Cases

The Big Idea

What if your website could load instantly for anyone, anywhere, without extra servers?

The Scenario

Imagine you have a website with visitors all over the world. You try to serve all content directly from your main server.

Fixing this by adding servers everywhere is complex and costly.
