The cdnnow! staff are not experts in MODX CMS or the authors of the plugin described below.
We provide the settings for connecting a CDN only as a recommendation and cannot fully
guarantee that the instructions are accurate, as the plugin is updated and modified by its authors.
We found instructions in internet howto from cdnsun company. You can use it to connect our CDN, as well as any other.
Creating a CDN Account
If you don't yet have a cdnnow! account, submit a CDN activation request, by providing your email, website, and CMS.
You will receive an email with access to your Control Panel and a default CDN address for your project in the format userXXXXX.nowcdn.co or userXXXXX.clients-cdnnow.ru, where userXXXXX — is your unique identifier.
Connecting MODX to CDN

Before making the suggested changes, we recommend that you create a backup copy of your site.
