To understand the edge website, you first need an understanding of edge computing.
What is edge computing?
As its name suggests, this is a type of computing taking place at the edge of the network. The network here can be on-premise or cloud-based.
The ‘edge’ here refers to all these devices relying on the central network to upload and download data. Such devices could include, but not limited to phones, laptops, robots, and sensors.

How?

Here is how:
Instead of relying on the centralization of cloud hosting to serve your website file to users, edge computing makes it possible to ‘take’ the whole thing to them.
