How to integrate with WP Fastest Cache

Introduction:

This guide will walk you through integrating the Apto CDN with the WP Fastest Cache plugin. Using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) can significantly improve your website’s load times and performance by serving your site’s static assets from locations closer to your users.

Prerequisites:

• Ensure you have the WP Fastest Cache plugin installed and activated.
• Make sure your Apto CDN account is set up and configured with an API key.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Access WP Fastest Cache Settings:

   • Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
   • Navigate to Wp Fastest Cache from the left sidebar and click on CDN.

2. Select Other CDN Providers:

   • Under the CDN tab, choose Other CDN Providers. This option allows for custom configuration of CDN URLs that are not pre-defined by the plugin.

3. Configure the CDN Settings:

   • In the settings section, enter the following:
     • CDN URL: https://s1.aptocdn.com/{domain}/
     • Replace {domain} with your actual website domain (e.g., https://s1.aptocdn.com/mywebsite.com/).
   • Origin URL: Use your site’s URL, e.g., https://www.mywebsite.com.

4. Save Changes:

   • Once you’ve entered the required settings, click the Save button to apply the changes.

5. Clear and Refresh Cache:

   • To ensure the new CDN configuration is active, go to Wp Fastest Cache > Delete Cache and clear all cached data.
   • This step is crucial as it purges any pre-existing cached files and forces WP Fastest Cache to regenerate them with the new CDN settings.

6. Verify CDN Integration:

   • Navigate to your website’s frontend and inspect a few pages using your browser’s Developer Tools (right-click > Inspect > Network tab).
   • Ensure that the URLs for your static assets (images, CSS, JavaScript files) are being served from https://s1.aptocdn.com/{domain}/.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Assets Not Loading from CDN: If your assets are not served from the Apto CDN, double-check the CDN URL format and ensure there are no typos.
• Mixed Content Warnings: If your site serves both HTTP and HTTPS content, make sure that the CDN URL uses HTTPS to avoid mixed content issues.
