StackPath

Secure Content Delivery Network, DDoS, WAF Service

Even though I tried listing some of the more recognizable brands (at least in the WordPress community) there’s a pattern here. Amazon CloudFront and Fastly seem to be favored by mainstream companies and overall well-known brands with a huge online presence, while StackPath and CloudFlare cater to both the big boys and standard WordPress blogs (or just entry-level websites). Akamai Edge is an entirely different story on its own. With high-tier pricing this probably isn’t a solution for anyone who’s not already consuming multiple TB of bandwidth every month.

CloudFlare

Cloudflare is a global network designed to make everything you connect to the Internet secure, private, fast, and reliable.

WordPress integration After setting up your pull zone, you can integrate MaxCDN through the W3 Total Cache plugin. Integrates independently of WordPress. You just need to sing up to CloudFlare and then assign new DNS servers to your domain name. CloudFlare picks up from there. Integrates through the W3 Total Cache plugin. However, you need to configure your Amazon AWS setup before you can enable the plugin. No info. There are two WordPress plugins through which you can integrate your site: the official plugin called Fastly, and the actual recommended plugin called Purgely.
