Having videos on your site is a great way to share information with your audience, especially if they are young adults.

I like videos because they enable me to carry on with other activities while listening to or watching them. Besides, they can be used to both entertain and educate any segment of your audience.

However, having videos on your site or blog comes at a price – the slowing down of your web pages. And if your pages take too long to load, your audience may not stay long enough to watch your videos.

That's why I've put together 5 helpful tips for you to use in improving the load speed of your videos and web pages.

Thanks for the tips. Videos are important to blogs as well as being on their own channel. If you successfully integrate the two then you are ahead of most sites.

Great post, Israel!
Do all CDNs cache video content?
Thanks,

It depends on your configuration, but as opposed to "caching" content, the primary purpose of a CDN is to deliver the content from a location as close as possible to the visitor (to avoid delay caused by data travel).

Hey Frank, good to know you were fully responded to by Dale! What a pleasant reply! If you still need to ask more questions on how a CDN works, don't hesitate to do so, please.

Thanks, Dale!
I use ShortPixel AI for photo adaptive imaging, which also has a CDN but it doesn't cahce video. I checked with them.
