What is "Content Delivery Network (CDN) Performance" monitoring?

Content Delivery Network (CDN) Performance monitoring primarily involves tracking various metrics that directly relate to the efficiency and effectiveness of the CDN in delivering content to end users. Response time is a crucial metric in this context because it measures how quickly a CDN can deliver content in response to user requests. Monitoring these performance metrics allows network engineers to identify bottlenecks, optimize content delivery, and ensure that users experience minimal delays when accessing content.

While other aspects like user satisfaction or the number of CDN servers can contribute to the overall evaluation of a CDN's effectiveness, they do not specifically address the operational performance indicators essential for assessing the quality and speed of content delivery. Therefore, focusing on response time and related performance metrics is fundamental to successful CDN performance monitoring.
