Hi,
I have successfully configured stackpath as my CDN however when I log into my stackpath account it indicates that I need to update my DNS as well. Is that necessary? What is the advantage of doing so?
Thank you!
Hello Tim,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
When CDN is set up, it serves the static files on your server (JS, CSS, Images, fonts) from the CDN. I’ve checked your website and I can see that the files are being served from the CDN.
What Stackpath is suggesting is that you can also serve your entire website from the Stackpath, meaning the HTML also besides static files. W3 Total Cache also has the FSD CDN option in this case.
The advantage of doing so is that, as I’ve mentioned, your entire website will be served from the Stackpath Sevres instead of from your origin.
Stackpath has Servers worldwide and this means that the website will load much faster for the users that are visiting the website in other countries/continents.I hope this helps!
Thanks!
