WordPress CDN Configuration
Your server is in one location. Your visitors are everywhere. A properly configured CDN serves your images, scripts, and stylesheets from edge servers around the world, cutting load times for distant visitors by 50% or more and reducing the load on your origin server.
reduction in page load times for geographically distant visitors when a CDN is properly configured, because assets are served from edge servers within 50ms of the visitor instead of from a single origin server

CDN Configuration
What's Included
Everything you get with our CDN Configuration
CDN Provider Setup
Provider selection based on your traffic geography, DNS configuration, SSL integration, and origin server connection optimized for WordPress
WordPress Caching Rules
Cache rules configured for WordPress content types: static assets cached aggressively, dynamic pages with appropriate TTLs, and admin areas excluded from caching
Cache Invalidation Strategy
Automatic cache purging when you update content, publish posts, or modify pages so visitors always see current content without waiting for cache expiration
Our CDN Configuration Process
Traffic Analysis
We analyze where your visitors are located, what assets account for the most bandwidth, and what your current load times are from different global regions. This determines which CDN provider and configuration will deliver the best results for your specific traffic patterns.
CDN Setup and DNS Configuration
We set up your CDN account, configure DNS records for CDN routing, establish the connection between the CDN and your origin server, and configure SSL on the CDN to match your existing certificate setup. All DNS changes are made carefully to avoid any downtime.
WordPress Caching Rules
We configure caching rules specifically for WordPress: aggressive caching for static assets like images and fonts, appropriate TTLs for page content, exclusions for admin pages and dynamic content like WooCommerce carts, and automatic cache purging when you update content.
Global Performance Verification
We test your site's performance from multiple global locations to verify the CDN is working correctly. We compare pre-CDN and post-CDN load times for each region, verify that cache hit rates are high, and confirm that dynamic content is not being cached incorrectly.
Key Benefits
Faster Loading Worldwide
Your images, CSS, JavaScript, and fonts are served from the edge server closest to each visitor. Someone in London does not wait for a response from your US server. Someone in Tokyo does not wait either. Cloudflare confirms 50% or more reduction in load times for distant visitors. Your site feels fast everywhere, not just near your server.
Reduced Server Load
When the CDN handles static asset delivery, your origin server handles fewer requests and can focus on generating dynamic content. This means your server can handle more concurrent visitors without upgrade. During traffic spikes, the CDN absorbs the bulk of the load instead of overwhelming your hosting.
DDoS Protection
Most CDN providers include DDoS protection as part of their network. Malicious traffic is absorbed by the CDN's globally distributed infrastructure before it reaches your origin server. Your site stays online even during targeted attacks because the CDN's capacity vastly exceeds what any attacker can generate.
Research & Evidence
Backed by industry research and proven results
CDN Performance Impact
CDNs reduce page load times by 50% or more for visitors far from the origin server by serving cached assets from nearby edge locations

Mobile Abandonment
53% of mobile visits are abandoned if pages take over 3 seconds to load

Global Performance
