A Content Delivery Network (CDN) can dramatically speed up your website by serving static assets from locations closer to your visitors. Even simple sites benefit from a well‑configured CDN.
Why a CDN improves load times
- Reduces latency by using geographically distributed edge nodes.
- Offloads traffic from your origin server, improving concurrency.
- Can compress and optimize images, CSS, and JavaScript on the fly.
Step‑by‑step: integrating a CDN (e.g., Cloudflare)
- Sign up for a CDN account and add your domain.
- Update your DNS nameservers to point to the CDN.
- Configure caching rules for static assets (images, CSS, JS).
- Enable "Always Use HTTPS" and HTTP/2 where available.
- Test before/after speed using tools like GTmetrix and PageSpeed Insights.
Before and after benchmarks
In our tests, sites using CDN integration saw 30–50% improvements in Time to First Byte (TTFB) and full page load times, especially for visitors far from the origin server in hong kong hosting, us web hosting, or eu web hosting.
On iServerGo, pairing a CDN with our hong kong hosting, us web hosting, or eu web hosting plans—and our cpanel hosting integration—gives you an optimal mix of fast origin servers and global edge caching.
Many of our plans include built‑in CDN options and easy Cloudflare integration. Talk to our team if you want help enabling a CDN for your site.
