Hi, I’m using W3TotalCache and stackpath as CDN. If I migrate to pro version, do I still to use stackpath or any CDN provider? Please clarify what do you mean by “Full Site Delivery (FSD)” as one of the features included in the pro version. Thank you. Regards, Carlos
Hi Carlos-
The main difference between using a CDN in the free version vs. Full Site Delivery is that the free version can be thought of as an Asset Delivery CDN.
With an Asset Delivery CDN, your CDN hosts images, JavaScript and CSS files, and other assets needed to build your page. This greatly speeds up your site, especially to users who are geographically distant from your hosting server.
On the other hand, Full Site Delivery speeds up your site by setting up a full “snapshot” of your website on your CDN, including the page cache and all your assets. This will save you server-side resources and speed up your site by serving your full site from the CDN rather than just the assets.
You can continue using StackPath for FSD, or choose any CDN from the options including Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare, and others.
Hi Jesse, Thanks for your reply. It is not clear yet in case I move to the W3TotalCache Pro if I still need to pay for the FSD (provided by StackPath) or if the FSD is part of the W3TotalCache Pro version. Please note that you are writing “Full Site Delivery (FSD) is one of the features included in the pro version.” Can you clarify? Thanks. Regards, Carlos
Hi Carlos-
Sorry about that, you’re right I didn’t make that super clear.
Full Site Delivery integration is included in W3 Total Cache Pro. You’ll still need a CDN Service like StackPath to provide the CDN. The subscription to your CDN service and W3 Total Cache Pro are separate.
Is keycdn compatible ? (https://www.keycdn.com)
Hi Porta-
Yes, you can use KeyCDN. Here are their instructions for setting it up: https://www.keycdn.com/support/wordpress-cdn-integration-with-w3-total-cache
