One powerful way to drastically speed up your site is to leverage a Content Delivery Network, known as a CDN. Put simply, it allows your images (photos) to be distributed across the globe (21 nodes in the US, 4 in Asia, 2 in Europe) so that visitors load them from the nearest location. This means your web pages load faster.
Whether your customers are mostly based in the United States, or you have a heavy international presence (even more benefits to using a CDN for overseas visitors), a CDN will greatly improve the speed of your site.
We offer a global CDN service that can seamlessly integrate with your ShopSite / ecommerce store. It's simple to set up. We'll help you integrate it in just 3 easy steps:
There is nothing to upload, no changes to make to your images. You continue uploading images as you have always done. The "magic" is simply a new URL (e.g. images.Your_Domain.com) that is used to call images from the CDN instead of directly from your website. The CDN will manage downloading and distributing your images across the globe.
