What is a CDN?

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a global delivery network. Our CDN at hosting.com is provided by Cloudflare on the Enterprise tier (a $6,000+ value). We use the Cloudflare CDN to deliver entire WordPress sites from 250+ locations around the globe. Rather than having a caching mechanism on the server your WordPress is installed on, we leverage Cloudflare’s global network to place your website as close as possible to your visitors.

​
How to leverage the CDN

The Enterprise CDN is enabled by default and there is no need to manage any of the configuration. All hosting.com Managed WordPress URLs (*.onrocket.site) and custom domains route through the CDN by default.

​
What does the CDN cache?

Our CDN caches all static assets (including HTML) by default. Dynamic requests such as admin-ajax.php, wp-login.php, and so on are already configured to bypass the cache due to our “bypass-the-cache” functionality for WordPress cookies. WooCommerce stores can also benefit from our CDN. WooCommerce content is delivered from the cache until a user starts interacting with the store and becomes a dynamic user. Dynamic users still receive all static assets such as images, CSS, and JavaScript from the cache. This means that your WooCommerce site experiences a lighter load, thereby increasing the number of users who can shop simultaneously.
