Looking for the best WordPress CDN service to speed up your WordPress site?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CDN, short for content delivery network, helps you speed up your WordPress site by serving your static content from a network of edge servers around the world. By shortening the distance between your site’s physical server and each visitor’s location, your CDN speeds up load times and also reduces the load on your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is a content delivery network?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary>
\n

A content delivery network is basically a multitude of servers distributed around the globe. These reduce the physical distance between the origin infrastructure and the server end. These CDNs handle vast amounts of traffic, so the technical part is effortless. CDN servers have different geolocations making it perfect for multilingual websites, or sites with traffic surges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now webmasters often confuse a CDN with caching. Caching, often implemented with a WordPress caching plugin, is the process of storing static content in a location to serve future requests in no time. It is one of the mechanisms that a CDN utilizes, besides compression, prefetching embedded links, etc, to reduce the load on your server and speed up page load times.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \"Cloudflare<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Cloudflare is a great CDN<\/a> with globally distributed servers for optimizing site performance. It’s actually a reverse proxy, which means that Cloudflare is responsible for directing traffic to your site and you’ll need to change your domain’s nameservers to point towards Cloudflare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to serving up your content via its CDN, this also lets Cloudflare secure your traffic with SSL (get the green padlock) and filter out bot traffic to secure your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Other awesome features are handy like web application firewall, custom SSL, 100% uptime and image optimization. However, you need to go premium to get these perks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
