Mirror

Updated: 05/03/2022 by Computer Hope
Illustration of a mirror with ornate decoration.

An exact duplicate of another object. For example, a website may mirror its content at multiple other sites, to distribute the network traffic geographically and reduce stress on any single servers.

Tip

Although mirrors are still used today, many sites today use a CDN instead of a mirror to distribute content.
