In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] MultisiteInitial testing shows that there aren’t any problems with WordPress Multisite and this plugin.
If you notice any issues specifically with the plugin, please open a new issue here and we will look into it asap.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] MultisiteTo be honest, we’ll need to test this a little bit and I’ll get back to you in this thread. I’ll keep this issue open in the interim.
Thank you!

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] scaled imagesHello,
Thank you for using the service! And I’m happy that you have seen a significant impact on speed.
Basically how the plugin works is it simply rewrites static element URLs to use the CDN url (i.e. images, css, js, etc).
If the source image has been scaled or optimized by another plugin, it should just work (in theory). The CDN itself employs some compression on elements that can be compressed, which I believe should include images. So there should be some form of optimization there , but go ahead and try that plugin (or at least test it).
We are in the planning stages of offering a dashboard system to manage your CDN sites as well as a paid tier that will offer features potentially like the one you are asking for here.
We will send a mailout when thats close to happening!

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] Need CDN Base URL for Autoptimize pluginEveryone’s CDN url is unique to their website. In the Shift8 CDN settings page, click the “TEST URL” link. That link is the CDN url to the test image, so strip the hostname only and that will be likely what you need, for example :
https://<unique CDN prefix>.wpcdn.shift8cdn.comForum: Plugins
In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] webp support?Hey there,
Thanks, working great. Also, where do I see the list of supported file types?
I should add this information to the readme. But how it works is if the request for static media matches one of the following file extension patterns below :
jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp|pdf|mp3|m4a|ogg|wav|mp4|m4v|mov|wmv|avi|mpg|ogv|3gp|3g2|webpThe system will attempt to optimize and compress the image as best as possbile to imprpove speed. If the above doesnt match but is a request for a static file in wp-content/upload, it will still go through the CDN and be cached either way. The key really is that we want images to be optimized and compressed (google likes that). I recently updated the plugin to include the webp extension in the above scenario.
There was an unrelated problem where the “catch-all” wasn’t catching the webp extension that was also fixed which is likely why it started working for you.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] webp support?Hello!
A plugin update has been pushed out (v1.26) that now includes the webp extension in the CDN url rewrite class. This means that webp files will now be pushed through the CDN url.
I’ll close this issue but let us know if there are any problems!

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] webp support?Hello!
I am going to investigate this for you, as it is a good idea. We would have to conditionally serve webp images as they aren’t compatible with all brosers yet (FF and Chrome only I believe?).
I’ll keep this issue open while this is investigated – thank you for bringing it up.
Thanks

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] url already existsHello!
Welcome back! We are planning a separate dashboard where these things can be managed easier in the future.
I have removed the old site in our side so you can create a new site + API key as if its a new site now at this point.
Thanks

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] problem cdn setup with better wordpress minify / super cacheHello!
Its difficult to offer support within the context of other plugins like this because I’m not 100% clear how the other plugins are rewriting URLs to use the CDN. There are a few ways that this can be done but I’d have to inspect how these plugins your using is doing it to know for sure.
That said, I looked at the screenshots you provided and I have a few comments that may be helpful.
Better WordPress Minify
https://imgur.com/a/jWr2ip8This one, you should probably set the SSL setting to force SSL. Our CDN urls will simply not work for non-SSL urls. This might be why its not working in this one screenshot?
WP Super Cache (updated screenshot)
https://imgur.com/a/BcAJRB4For this one I suppose you enter your site URL for “your site”. Then the CDN url (full url with https://whatever.wpcdn.shift8cdn.com or whatever your CDN url is.
You can also just use our plugin to enable the CDN and then these caching plugins should still work, save for the CDN settings.
Hopefully this helps! But I cant offer further support for the other plugins unfortunately.
