CDN

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a network of servers distributed across different geographic locations that brings your website's content closer to each visitor. This means images, stylesheets and other files are delivered from the nearest node, reducing loading times and improving the browsing experience.

Enabling a CDN helps reduce latency, speed up your website, and deliver a faster browsing experience for your visitors. It also distributes your content across a global network of servers, improves stability during traffic spikes and reduces the load on your origin server.

No. Simply log in to your Control Panel, select the relevant hosting account and go to Server > CDN. Enable the CDN and cdmon will automatically take care of the required configuration. Under normal circumstances, the process is completed in around 15 minutes.

No. You can enable the CDN without changing your website's code or making any other modifications. cdmon automatically handles the configuration required for the service to work correctly.

No. The CDN is included at no additional cost with compatible cdmon hosting services. Each hosting plan includes a monthly data transfer allowance that renews every month, and if you ever need more capacity, you can add extra data transfer from your Control Panel.

Almost any website can benefit from a CDN, whether it's a business website, a blog, an online store, or a high-traffic project. The more traffic your website receives or the heavier its files are, the more noticeable the improvement in loading speed and browsing experience will be.

A CDN doesn't improve search rankings on its own. However, by reducing loading times, it can help improve the user experience and metrics such as Core Web Vitals, which may have a positive impact on your website's SEO performance over time.

A CDN mainly distributes static content, such as images, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, and fonts. It can also cache certain dynamic content when technically supported. All other content continues to be served directly from the origin server.

No. To use the CDN, your domain's DNS must be managed by cdmon. During activation, we'll automatically complete the required configuration and manage the SSL certificate, so you don't have to worry about a thing.

The monthly data transfer included depends on your hosting plan, and you can check both your limit and usage from your Control Panel. If you need more capacity, you can increase the available data transfer by adding extra GB. If you use all the available data transfer, the CDN will be temporarily disabled until you add more capacity or the next monthly period begins.

In addition to the transfer included with your hosting, there are transfer plans to increase it. You can get them if you have shared hosting and, if you have a virtual or dedicated server, also the higher-capacity ones, whose GB are shared among all the hosting accounts on your server. Plus, you can move up or down a plan whenever you want from your Control Panel.

On virtual and dedicated servers, the transfer works like a shared pool: the plan you choose is activated at server level and its GB are shared among all the hosting accounts you have on it. In your Control Panel you'll see the server's total usage, how much is left, and what each hosting account uses. The counter resets on the 1st of each calendar month, without carrying over the GB you didn't use. And if you run out of transfer, your website keeps working: content is served directly from your server until you increase the transfer or the next month begins.

No. cdmon's CDN is incompatible with Varnish or other CDN solutions. To avoid caching conflicts, you should only use one content delivery solution at a time.

The CDN temporarily stores certain content in cache so it can be delivered more quickly to your visitors. When you introduce changes to your website, the cached content is refreshed according to the cache settings. If necessary, you can also purge the cache so the CDN retrieves the latest version from the origin server.

Yes. The CDN is compatible with WordPress as long as your hosting account and website configuration meet the service requirements. Since it works at infrastructure level, you don't need to install any additional plugins to start using it.

Once enabled, you can check the service status and basic usage statistics from the CDN section of your Control Panel. Keep in mind that activation may take up to 15 minutes and some statistics may be displayed with a short delay.
