Setting up a CDN on WordPress

WPScale offers a CDN option for its customers. So here’s the tutorial to set it up.

• With a 5 or 10 WordPress subscription, the CDN is included in your package.
• If you have a 1 or 3 WordPress subscription, you can add the CDN option by clicking here.

Setting up the CDN on your WordPress

Send us the URL of the site(s) to be placed on the CDN via the form on the WPScale support page specifying your WPScale login and the URLs of the sites.  We will then set up a "Pull" zone for your site and give you the address of the URL zone to be implemented.

To run a CDN on WordPress, you need to use a plugin such as W3 Total Cache or WP Rocket.
