| Second Life uses a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to distribute texture and mesh data more efficiently across the globe. This shift from simulator-based delivery to CDN-based delivery has brought several key improvements to the platform. | Second Life uses a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to distribute texture and mesh data more efficiently across the globe.

| - | • Faster loading of textures and meshes | + | * Faster loading of textures and meshes |
| - | Assets like avatar skins, clothing, and environment textures now load significantly faster, especially in crowded regions. | + | |
| - | • Quicker region crossings and teleports | + | |
| - | Reduced load on simulator servers means smoother transitions between areas. | + | |
| - | • Reduced “fuzzy” or “cloudy” avatars | + | |
| - | Avatars appear fully rendered more quickly, improving visual quality and immersion. | + | |
