Summary

The DigitalOcean team has launched a built-in content delivery network (CDN) for their Spaces object storage service, which is now available at no extra charge. This move aims to improve the performance of websites and applications by reducing latency and page load times. The new CDN endpoint provides faster asset delivery, with median performance gains of 66.52% across four regions, compared to serving content directly from the origin. Customers can enable the CDN from the Spaces settings tab and use it without incurring additional costs, as the included bandwidth limit covers both origin and CDN usage. The team has also provided guidance on how to integrate the new feature with popular platforms like WordPress.
