What is a CDN and do you support it?

Overview

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a system of servers located around the world that stores copies of your website’s content. When someone visits your site, the CDN delivers it from the nearest server location, making your website load faster.

How a CDN works

Instead of every visitor loading your website from a single hosting server, a CDN:

  • Stores cached copies of your website (images, CSS, scripts, etc.)
  • Delivers content from the closest global location to the visitor
  • Reduces load on your hosting server

Benefits of using a CDN

1. Faster website loading

Visitors receive content from a nearby server, reducing loading time.

2. Better global performance

Your website performs well for users anywhere in the world, not just near your hosting location.

3. Reduced server load

Your hosting server handles fewer direct requests, improving stability.

4. Improved reliability

If one CDN node has issues, another can serve the content automatically.

5. Extra security benefits

Many CDNs also provide:

  • DDoS protection
  • Traffic filtering
  • Bot protection

Do we support CDN?

Yes — CDN services are supported and can be used with your hosting.

You can use third-party CDNs such as:

  • Cloudflare
  • BunnyCDN
  • Other compatible CDN providers

These integrate easily with your domain by updating DNS settings or enabling proxy services.

How to set up a CDN (general steps)

  1. Sign up with a CDN provider (e.g. Cloudflare)
  2. Add your domain to the CDN service
  3. Update your nameservers or DNS records as instructed
  4. Enable caching and performance settings

Important Notes

  • A CDN does not replace hosting — it works alongside it
  • Changes may take time to fully propagate
  • Some features (like email DNS records) must be configured carefully when using a CDN

Common Issues & Fixes

Website not loading after enabling CDN

  • Check DNS settings were entered correctly
  • Ensure origin server is still accessible

Email stopped working after CDN setup

  • Ensure MX records are not proxied through the CDN

Site changes not appearing

  • Purge CDN cache to refresh content
