Why Netflix Loads Faster Than a Simple Website 🤯

Why does a massive 4K Netflix stream start faster than a tiny text website? 🤯

It’s not faster internet. It’s latency.

Netflix moves content closer to you using CDNs, Anycast BGP routing, and its own Open Connect servers inside ISP networks. Instead of making your data travel across the internet to one distant server, Netflix can serve it from a nearby edge location.

That’s why a heavier video can feel faster than a simple website.

In this 60-second engineering breakdown, we explain: → Bandwidth vs latency → Why distance matters → How CDN edge servers work → Anycast BGP routing → Netflix Open Connect → How cache pre-warming makes playback almost instant

Same internet. A very different journey.
