Adding options for image CDN, with push capabilities.

Hey,

I am currently testing out KeyCDN as a possible switch from Amazon S3 and Cloudfront, mainly due to Amazon slacking on any kind of HTTP/2 support.

However, there is one huge thing that may stop me from doing this (at least partially).

For pull origins, KeyCDN is awesome, it works great and it’s easy to set up, however, there doesn’t seem to be much support for push origins in your plugins, which is a problem for us.

I have already seen that you do not want to add the ability for more domains in the CDN plugin, however, for our set up, it would be nice if you would add the option for an image CDN, as we use two CDN URLs, one for big content like videos and images (Push), and another for JS and CSS (Pull), as you can see they both need different domains.

Alongside that, it would be nice to have an automatic push to a push CDN from the plugin.

Finally, a question does the cache enabler’s WebP function work with the Push CDN?

For now, I think that I am going to setup a KeyCDN pull for my AWS bucket, which should provide all this with HTTP/2 support.

The CDN Enabler if focusing on Pull mode. It can work with Push if the path is the same. What is the maximum size of your videos?

The WebP function in the Cache Enabler is designed to detect the WP upload directory structure, which means it does not work if the webp is outside of that.

Okay, that’s fine, our videos are generally short, sometimes we will upload a GIF as a video for an example of size. However, the problem is really uploads in general, we push everything to a CDN to make the site easy to move around, that enables us to be less reliant on a single server, as our web site is on one server, and the largest (hard to move) folder is on another. This becomes useful in cases of load balancing, or moving server should one fail.

Also, that sounds fine, but is that saying that WebP would work if the URL was from example:

cdn.example.com/wp-content/uploads….

Or is it saying it will just work for:

example.com/wp-content/uploads…

Just want to check before using it, as our site needs some changes for it to be compatible with the plugin.

Regarding the last part of your question, you don’t have to use a CDN for WebP functionality in Cache Enabler to work.

example.com/wp-content/uploads… will work with WebP and Cache Enabler.

I recommend to use a Pull Zone if the videos are small.
