10+ Free CDN Services to Speed Up WordPress

1

CloudFlare

So I’ve been using Cloudflare for the last month, and it seems to be doing pretty well with Wp-Rocket. However, I’ve seen faster websites and am curious – is it because I’m on a Free plan? and not on a paid plan? Is a Free plan much worse than paying for Cloudflare? Would another CDN be better with WP-Rocket, or is WP-Rocket a bad plugin to use alongside Cloudflare? I’m going for as fast a website as I can get.

Incapsula

That’s why we have a CDN. It speeds up content delivery by serving the content from the server that is closest to the visitor. Your loading time decreases and you end up winning. If you want to understand CDNs better, Incapsula’s CDN guide is a great place to start.

Site Accelerator by Jetpack

…I’ve just installed Photon and wondered if it is compatible or works with W3 Total Cache as there’s no option to select Photon from the W3 CDN drop down? In using Photon, is there anything more to do, once it’s been activated? Any advice appreciated! Cheers!

Cloudinary

If you run website that heavily dependent on images (think portfolios of photography/design services), offloading your images to another server would be a good idea. You would end up saving a lot of precious bandwidth. Cloudinary is a robust image management solution that can host your images, resize them on-the-fly and a ton of other cool features. In their forever-free plan, they offer 2GB storage with 5GB of bandwidth.
