Using the CDN

Serve your site's static files faster with the global CDN.

Written by Daniel

A content delivery network, or CDN, serves your images, CSS, and JavaScript from servers around the world, so each visitor loads them from somewhere close by. Wordify's CDN runs on BunnyCDN's global edge network.

Enable the CDN

  1. Open your site, then under Hosting select CDN.

  2. Leave Zone Name blank to have one generated for you, or enter your own.

  3. Click Enable CDN.

Setting up the zone takes a few seconds, and the page updates on its own when it is ready.

After it is enabled

The page now shows your zone's details: the CDN URL your assets are served from, the zone name, and the origin it pulls from. You do not need to copy any of these into WordPress. The Hosting Tools plugin picks them up automatically, and the plugin's own Hosting Tools screen will start reporting the CDN as enabled.

At the bottom of the page are the actions you will use day to day:

  • Purge Cache makes the CDN fetch fresh copies of your files. Use it if you have updated an image or a stylesheet and are still seeing the old version.

  • Check CDN is live confirms your site really is serving its assets through the CDN.

  • Delete CDN Zone removes the zone and stops serving through the CDN.

A note on the Optimizer

The same page has an Optimizer section covering WebP conversion, minification, and image resizing. On some plans the Optimizer is a paid add-on billed monthly, and on others it is included. The price is not shown on this page, so check your plan or ask us before you switch it on.

Availability

The CDN itself is included on every Wordify plan.
