AccelerateWP CDN

AccelerateWP offers the integration of a commercial CDN that allows you to speed up your website for users located far from your server, with a network covering more than 100 points of presence across 5 continents.

Warning: the CDN does not have a point of presence in Reunion Island 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 consumed traffic. If you do not know how much traffic you consume, you can go to your cPanel then in the "Metrics" section go to "Bandwidth". You will then see the monthly totals. Take the highest total.

Here is how to subscribe to the CDN:

Log in to your client area
In the "My Account" menu, choose "My Services"
Click on "Web Hosting" on the line corresponding to the cPanel you want to access
On the left, under "Actions", click on "Modify your options":

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

Then confirm the order
