No CDN layer exists. Decentralized.Host's edge hosts are L7 proxies in front of replicas; there is no caching or points-of-presence network.

What a CDN actually does

A CDN puts copies of your static content (images, JS/CSS bundles, whole HTML pages for cacheable routes) on servers physically closer to each visitor, so a user in Singapore fetches from a nearby edge node instead of round-tripping to wherever your origin server actually sits. Configuration mostly means deciding what's cacheable (immutable assets like a hashed JS bundle: cache aggressively; a logged-in dashboard: don't) and for how long (Cache-Control/TTL headers), plus purge rules for when you deploy new content that must invalidate old cached copies immediately.
