> Cdn is an Agent Skill for testing & quality published in the thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

Use when auditing slow page loads, heavy assets, or rendering delays related to Use a content delivery network. Verify the actual bottleneck in DevTools, Lighthouse, or field data before recommending changes.

# Use a content delivery network

A CDN serves static assets from geographically distributed servers—users download from the nearest location, dramatically reducing latency and improving load times.

## Quick Reference

- CDNs serve content from edge servers closest to users
- Reduces latency by 50-70% for global users
- Handles traffic spikes and provides DDoS protection
- Popular options: Cloudflare, Vercel, AWS CloudFront, Fastly

## Check

Check if static assets are served from a CDN and if the CDN is properly configured.

## Fix

Configure a CDN to serve static assets with proper caching headers and geographic distribution.

## Explain

Explain how CDNs reduce latency by serving content from geographically distributed servers.

## Code Review

Review the routes, assets, and loading behavior that affect Use a content delivery network. Flag exact files, requests, or rendering steps that add unnecessary network, CPU, or layout cost, and describe the measurement method used to confirm the issue.
