Exactly, CDN is best for edge hosting (being able to load frequently loaded content at a closer locale). A CDN is also useful if you get periodic traffic surges (e.g., featured on Reddit or something), as it allows you to get a big overload without having complex load balancing (we’re talking something like jumping up to 1 million views in a week or something … this happened to us once and holy crap!). And it can be useful for some common stuff like jquery as it gets cached in browser so is not reloaded if everybody is loading it off Google’s server.

Also note that some CDN setups don’t properly gzip/deflate everything unless you set that up — some are managed, some are just like your own site meaning you have to manage TTL, CORS, expiration of content to refresh, gzip/deflate, headers, etc.

Frankly http/2 is going to be more mission critical with hosting services, and http/2 + mod_pagespeed is very powerful.

Most important thing is to stop serving live pages and start serving static html pages. You can do this with W3totalcaching, just make sure page caching is enabled. Also it will NOT cache for logged-in users. So test in another browser…

If you have a regular hosting plan a non-cached php page will load in something like 900ms. On a slow host you can even see 2000+ ms. If you use a good host (pm me if you are looking for a fast one) you can get this down to about 300ms. When you switch to html pages you can go as low as 30ms.

CDN is only useful for international websites. I use it on one of my websites because it allows visitors from the US and Asia to load my page faster (hosted in The Netherlands).

Yeah I turned off cache plugin, which in turn turns off the CDN. The page load was significantly different. Was multiple seconds different (by me just loading the page in my browser with no cookies). Was ridiculous. But I don’t think thats the experience with everyone… I dunno.. but thanks, I’ll try and do more testing. Just seems to load the images very very slow with cdn (though even slower without) – and I don’t understand why, besides this template being extremely bloated.

@larceny
in my case we have dedicated high speed server in Class-A datacenter. So for us, using most CDN stuff doesn’t help us. We tested this thoroughly, hence the effort to optimize “in place” vs relying on external resources.

For whatever your situation is, you will have to A/B test how it works for you and your content, layouts, hosting plan, etc., as that varies from site to site.

Hi

I’ve checked your site and noticed that the page structure it’s different then the one from the theme. If you made any customization in theme’s file try to revert them, deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using and test again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.

Thanks!

I’m using MaxCDN, but doesn’t seemed to have helped my stats much.

Hello,

The setting are seeming to be saved. Also i don’t think so to use a cdn server.

I have sent you credentials at your contact e-mail.

thank you

Hello,

what do you mean with purge cdn.

here is the link:

Now i disabled all plugins, and i deleted all cache from browser.

the logo at the theme panel is diferent from the default logo you can see right now.

Is there something else i have to do with cache?

thank you

Should be in the CDN FAQs, too 😉

Issue Solved. but i agree Chris should be in FAQ as CDNs are getting more and more popular.

I tried this line in nginx…
location ~* \.(eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$ {
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin “*”;
}

didn’t work. I tried httaccess method, didn’t work either.

Then simply told my host to send CORS headers forfont files for my website. They confirmed it and I see that that it was done “Access-control-allow-origin: * ”

Still those perky icons not loading lol

When font awesome didn’t want to load, i simply loaded it from external CDN (maxcdn) and it worked again. If i can do the same with the other random font files, then would be good to go.

You need to either load the font locally (it’s in the theme in the images folder I think; basically a trimmed version of fontawesome) — or setup a CORS rule on your CDN. This is a protection setting that blocks fonts from being loaded “across domains” in browsers.

Really should be a FAQs page on this in the docs, but everybody using a CDN runs into this one eventually 🙂

Might be something that changed with WP 4.2.2 — likely good to double check your php upload settings for your hosting account as this sometimes resets with a server update (meaning the max file size upload).

Try uploading from media manager vs from a post. That is “outside” the theme.

Make sure you have enough RAM allocated to WP, meaning at least 96MB vs default 40MB.

Make sure you’re not using a conflicting plugin, or something that tries to post the image to external location or something (e.g., CDN, Jetpack, etc.).
