CDN

When using Uniform, the visitor connects to the website through a CDN. The CDN serves two primary purposes:

  1. Cache content from the origin. The purpose of this is to reduce the need to return to the origin because reading from the origin is usually relatively slow compared to how quickly the CDN can retrieve content from its cache.
  2. Execute personalization instructions. Uniform extracts personalization instructions from Sitecore and converts them into a format that can be executed on the CDN. Executing personalization on the origin is usually relatively slow compared to how quickly the CDN can execute the same instructions.
