CDN (Content Delivery Network) handles the separation of dynamic and static resources by intelligently routing requests based on content type and caching policies. Static resources (e.g., images, CSS, JavaScript files) are cached at edge servers closest to users, reducing latency and server load. Dynamic content (e.g., personalized web pages, API responses) is typically forwarded to the origin server since it cannot be cached due to its variable nature.
For static resources, CDNs store copies at edge nodes, serving them directly to users without hitting the origin server. For dynamic content, CDNs may use techniques like edge computing or dynamic content acceleration to optimize delivery.
Example: A website loads a logo (static) and user-specific dashboard data (dynamic). The logo is cached at the CDN edge, while the dashboard data is fetched from the origin server.
In cloud environments, Tencent Cloud's CDN service supports static content caching and dynamic content acceleration, ensuring efficient delivery for mixed workloads.
