# CDN Delivery by Content Type

Video segments, product images, audio files, installers and API responses all behave differently at the edge. This section explains those differences for engineers who serve a mix of content: how file size, format and request pattern change cache hit ratio, which formats to choose (MP4 vs WebM, JPEG vs WebP and AVIF, FLAC and AAC), and how much bandwidth each type really consumes.

Readers are usually platform engineers, frontend performance leads, video engineers and release managers who need to set cache keys, TTLs and compression per content type rather than one global rule. For deeper coverage of a single type, see [encoding and players](https://blog.blazingcdn.com/encoding-players?hsLang=en) for video or [large file delivery](https://blog.blazingcdn.com/large-file-delivery?hsLang=en) for games, software and model weights.
