Many thanks for your help

Yah. I wasted the entire month of Jan. 2014 messing with CDN stuff before realizing that since we had dedicated server it only helped us with folks outside the US, which were not critical to our business anyway, and so dumped the CDN in favor of local hosting, with caching, mod_pagespeed, etc.

The CORS stuff is a pain. Additionally had to add stuff like “addtype” handlers to the htaccess as our system auto generates webp format images for Chrome and server didn’t know what that was (!). Augh.

Feel your pain. Sorry no better help from me — been awhile. So, not sure I’ve helped at all beyond moral support!

That is exactly the code I added when I was chatting with the MaxCDN guy the other night, but we eventually got it working by doing something else. So now something really odd is happening: Everything is working fine when I’m on the desktop version of my site, but not only mobile version. When I pull my site up on my phone, there’s no menu icon to the left of the header, no search icon to the right of the header, and no social media icons in the footer. I can’t fathom why it would be working on the desktop version and not on the mobile as I would assume both the desktop and mobile are pulling the data from the same servers. And I’ve cleared/purged all my caches too.

This technology stuff is a pain is the rear sometimes a lot of the time.

Likely need to see the docs for your CDN.

In our case when we were using Amazon’s CDN in 2014 (not using CDN anymore as it didn’t help us, due to various factors), we had to do the CORS rule in both our site and ALSO on the CDN. I might have posted that in the Newspaper forum 2 years ago (yikes!). In our case with Amazon, we had to edit the ‘bucket’ to do it.

Probably for your CDN there is similar setup where you can enter time to live, expirations, and CORS info. They should have tutorial as CORS is super common problem.

@andrei_luca, thanks for that resource, I should be able to do that without issue. However, it says there to put that code in the CDN’s .htaccess and not the primary one on my host’s server. How would I go about accessing .htaccess files on MaxCDN and CloudFlare?

Everything is all well and good with this now. Between chatting with MaxCDN and chatting with Bluehost, we got it figured out.

However, I’m now using three CDNs (and my website is blazing fast), but I want to look into finding a way to allocate those more effectively with something like jsdelivr, or a similar platform. Anyone have any knowledge about this, suggestions, or know of any good step-by-step resources for making sure my CDNs are allocated as effectively as possible?

I’ve been chatting with MaxCDN support. They’ve checked to make sure I’ve added the right code and advised me to purge my cache pull, I guess so that it would re-cache the new code or something, but it’s still not working. I was under the impression that the social icons were tiny image files or something, and not a webfont.

I guess I wouldn’t know for sure, that’s just what I would have assumed.

@neotrope, you’re a lifesaver.

The tutorial I found is here. Do I put ALL the code that’s there at the top into .htaccess? Or just what’s in red?

Try clearing your browser cache (seriously).

Fact is, AdSense doesn’t always work, on ANY browser, or in every spot on a page. This is because a certain type of ad may be served, that fails to render.

If you Google this behavior, you will see common complaints going back to 2010 “why don’t my adsense ads load in Chrome,” “why don’t my adsense ads load in Safari” – etc.

The ONLY solution to this we found on some of our news portals (we have been using Adsense since it launched in beta, btw), is to serve up “text only” ads in certain spots.

This is because some advertisers with rich media, whether HTML5 animations, javascript animation, even old Flash ads (which I think are all gone now?), may time out, if loaded from the actual origin server (meaning they are not loading on Google’s cloud, but the actual advertiser content system/CDN). So, when it times out, nothing shows up.

Turning of ‘lazy loading’ completely for the theme, plugins, etc., can help also.

Used to annoy me to see blank ads in places.

Now I will say, I did have a day last week, where going to my own sites on Safari/iOS9/iPad Air, all the ad spots were blank, but they worked in Chrome. So, there be gremlins afoot!

But put another way, it’s NOT theme related — all the ad spots do is inject the code for Google to fetch and render the “spot” — if it times out, nothing fills the spot.

You have to either setup a CORS rule for your CDN to load the “font” — or setup exception to load your fonts locally only. Fonts can’t load from another locale without a “cross origin” setup — this is to protect users from mischeif, so web browsers block this stuff. See your CDN docs on setting up CORS rule.

I’ve posted about this in the forum in past (obviously), as have TagDiv.

I don’t know if there is a “CDN DIY” tutorial anywhwere in here … but this is common issue EVERYBODY who sets up a CDN runs into eventually — in my case it was Jan/Feb 2014.

And I just noticed that the stars from Taqyeem plugin aren’t showing up. They’re appearing as boxes with Xs in them for some reason. I feel like maybe there’s something more I need to have the CDN cache, but I have no idea how to begin trying to figure that out.
