 * Is there any set by set documentation on changing and using a custom cname on
   Cloudflare with your plugin? Maybe a video?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcname-setup-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Mr Bass, i don’t know if your question is still relevant after 2 months, but 
   the short version would be as follows:
 * 1. Create a new Google bucket with the name of the subdomain you intend to use,
   e.g. storage.ioutdoor.com.
 * 2. Google will ask you to validate the subdomain through the Google Search Console
   in this process. This involves creating a TXT-record in Cloudflare (DNS) with
   the name storage.ioutdoor.com and the value/string that is provided by the Search
   Console. After validation the bucket can be created.
 * 2. Create a CNAME record in Cloudflare with the name storage.ioutdoor.com and
   the value c.storage.googleapis.com
 * 3. In the WP-Stateless settings, set the bucket name to storage.ioutdoor.com,
   set the mode to Stateless, and set the domain to [https://storage.ioutdoor.com](https://storage.ioutdoor.com)(
   including the https:// part)
 * Your bucket should now be working, if you already had WP-Stateless set up with
   a different bucket, you can do a one-time Sync to copy all the files to the new
   storage bucket.

 * Thanks litemotiv, those were some key missing steps in the documentation.

 * Thanks [@agnitekcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agnitekcom/) , there
   is one change for the newer WP-Stateless versions, which is that it’s now recommended
   to use the Ephemeral mode instead of the Stateless mode for this scenario. This
   will generally provide a lower latency for page loads.
 * Cheers,

 * Any difference of CDN vs Ephemeral when it comes to latency of page loads? Seems
   like the only difference would be hosting side storage.

 * @AnAdminer CDN and ephemeral should give the same results, the increased latency
   occurs when there is no local storage available for operations such as with the
   stateless mode.
