Connecting your site to CDN allows you:
- speed up your website's loading time in different regions;
- optimize images on your website on the fly;
- significantly reduce outgoing traffic from your server;
- reduce the number of requests to your server;
- reduce the cost of AntiDDoS for your server.
All this is achieved by automatically transferring cache copies of images, styles, and scripts to numerous cdnnow! CDN servers.
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.
- It is recommended that you make a backup copy of your CMS and database before starting the integration. These instructions have been tested for the default Prestashop theme; results may vary if you are using a different custom theme.
- Log into you Prestashop admin panel (back office).
-
Go to «Advanced Parameters / Performance».
-
Scroll down to the «CCC» (COMBINE, COMPRESS AND CACHE) section.
Set all the options to Yes.
Or, in older versions, it looks like this:
- Save the changes in the block by clicking the «Save» button.
-
Scroll down to the «Media servers (use only with CCC)» section.
-
In the «Media Server #1» field enter the CDN address
userXXXXX.nowcdn.co,
where userXXXXX is the service name of your project in your
cdnnow! personal account.
-
Or you can enter your subdomain for CDN (you need to
configure it first):
- Save the changes in the block by clicking the «Save» button.
-
In the «Media Server #1» field enter the CDN address
userXXXXX.nowcdn.co,
where userXXXXX is the service name of your project in your
cdnnow! personal account.
-
The address of static files in your website's HTML code should change.
Reload your website and view the source code; you should see new URLs for static files.
This completes the Prestashop configuration and the CDN is ready to use.
Attention! If you were unable to configure the CDN for your custom theme, restore the previous settings in the «Advanced Parameters / Performance» section.
