As the name suggests, CDN or Content Delivery network delivers your content to users but with more speed and performance than your server can provide.
CDNs consists of servers, also known as edge servers or POPs(point of presence), distributed all over the world that caches your data like images, videos, javascript, CSS, fonts etc and delivers it to that region.
That way the data delivers faster to the user and you get lesser load on your server and better experience for your users.
