> [!NOTE] [AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/Introduction.html) > Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .js, and image files, to your users. CloudFront delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. When a user requests content that you're serving with CloudFront, the request is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency (time delay), so that content is delivered with the best possible performance. In [Victorian English](https://victorianaws.com/) with [a certified tavern classic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1rVTOHWhYc): > Amazon CloudFront allows us to move swiftly and with agility, our data aloft on the updrafts of the ether, to be borne before the winds on swan's wings to the far corners of the earth, there to preach the good news of our message in the digital tongue that is known to all men, including but not limited to those in the Cloud computing industry.
