system process "cdpd"

my macbook air was running slow this morning, i downloaded some mockup files yesterday so i am a little nervous but i didnt use any site i havent before. they seemed to take a while to download despite being small in size. i was going through my activity monitor, nothing crazy using cpu right now but i noticed this process and i cant find any info on it. it changed to this but then went back and is still there. hoping someone can help?

running fine right now and did most of the day but i spent some time struggling to load webpages while the laptop itself was fine and not freezing, pages just wouldnt change when i searched or clicked something for a long while.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

The process in question is a Normal System Process. Have checked my Mac Mini M1 running Big Sur 11.6 and the process is a normal one and should be ignored except if there is a specific issue to report.

other than that, nothing i can tell. i'm just worried i downloaded something along with the files. i'm going to keep watching it, someone else said it's normal but i just got worried because i've had the laptop for 2 months now and havent had any issues like that. it was like the page was frozen but it wasnt and i eventually just gave up and came back to my laptop later and it was fine
