Content Delivery Network—a distributed network of servers that delivers web content from locations geographically closest to each visitor. CDNs dramatically reduce latency and load times for global audiences while providing redundancy if one server fails. Framer hosts all sites on a global CDN automatically, ensuring fast performance worldwide without additional configuration.

Generating HTML on the server before sending to browsers, improving initial load performance and SEO. SSR provides complete content to search engines and faster first paint for users. Framer uses server-side rendering for optimal performance and SEO.

Internet Protocol address—a numerical label identifying devices on a network, like 192.168.1.1 or a longer IPv6 format. IP addresses enable communication between devices and can provide geographic location data for analytics. CDNs route traffic based on IP to serve content from nearby servers.

User Experience—the overall experience a person has when using a product, encompassing usability, accessibility, and emotional response. Good UX anticipates user needs and removes obstacles to goal completion. UX extends beyond UI to include performance, content clarity, and trust signals.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines—international standards defining how to make web content accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG compliance is increasingly required legally and expands your potential audience. Aim for at least WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

The maximum rate of data transfer across a network connection, measured in bits per second. Higher bandwidth allows faster loading of large assets like images and videos, directly impacting user experience. Optimize bandwidth usage by compressing images, lazy loading off-screen content, and leveraging Framer's automatic performance optimizations.
