Serving files from closer to visitors.
WHAT IT DOES
Stores copies of your files on servers in many locations and serves each visitor from a nearby one.
WHERE IT HELPS MOST
Audiences spread across regions Sites with many images and static files Sites under attack, since the CDN absorbs it
WHERE IT HELPS LESS
A purely local audience served by a nearby server already.
THE HONEST POSITION FOR A NIGERIAN BUSINESS
If your visitors are local and your server is reasonably placed, the geographic benefit is modest.
The caching, compression and protection benefits still apply.
WHAT ELSE A CDN PROVIDES
Filtering of malicious traffic Compression Sometimes image optimisation
TWO SETTINGS THAT MATTER
SSL mode must be full, not flexible, or you get redirect loops.
Mail records must not be proxied, or email breaks.
WHAT TO TEST AFTER ENABLING
The site, logged in and out Forms and checkout Email, both directions
