Edge computing enhances website performance by processing data closer to the user, reducing latency and improving user experience. It involves using networks of servers (CDNs) to cache and serve content more efficiently. Modern edge networks can run code close to users, enabling personalized content, A/B testing, and better error handling. Technologies like Fastly and Glitch aim to make these advanced capabilities accessible to more developers, paving the way for innovative web applications.
