# How do I speed up my WordPress site with AccelerateWP?

We provide a tool, [AccelerateWP](https://user-docs.cloudlinux.com/wpos-plugin/), that speeds up the display of your WordPress site.

Unlike commercial plugins such as WP Fastest Cache, WP-Optimize, WP Rocket, or others, **AccelerateWP Standard is provided to you free of charge**. A Premium version exists if you need even more performance, and a CDN is available if your site reaches a global audience.

- You can check the [AccelerateWP online help](https://docs.cloudlinux.com/user-docs/user-docs-shared-cloudlinux/#acceleratewp) if you need more information.

> You can ignore the error "AccelerateWP: Mod PageSpeed is not compatible with this plugin and may cause unexpected results." because our default Mod PageSpeed configuration is compatible with AccelerateWP.

### AccelerateWP CDN
AccelerateWP offers integration with a commercial CDN that speeds up your site for users located far from your server, with a network covering more than 100 points of presence across 5 continents.

> **Note:** the CDN has no point of presence in Réunion or Mauritius; users from these territories will be redirected to a point of presence in South Africa, which is a good compromise in terms of performance.
The CDN is billed based on traffic consumed. If you don't know how much traffic you use, you can go to your [cPanel](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/how-do-i-access-cpanel-en4rsm/), then in the "**Metrics**" section go to "**Bandwidth**". You'll then see the monthly totals. Take the highest total.

Here's how to subscribe to the CDN:

- Log in to your [client area](https://hodi.host/clientarea.php)
- In the "**My account**" menu, choose "**My services**"
- Click "**Web Hosting**" on the line corresponding to the cPanel you want to access
- On the left, under "**Actions**", click "**Edit your options**":
  ![](https://hodi.host/images/kb/121_Screenshot-2024-02-15-at-10.28.00.png)

- In the "**AccelerateWP CDN**" section, choose the monthly traffic consumed by your site, then click "**Click to continue**":
