RocketCDN is a premium optimized Content Delivery Network that helps you deliver your content at the speed of light.
If your website aims to reach an international audience, the distance from your visitors’ origin server has a significant impact on performance. With RocketCDN, anyone can access your content quickly, no matter where they are in the world! Forget configuration headaches too, we automatically apply the best CDN configuration to boost your speed and performance grades.
Reduce latency, round trip time (RTT) and save bandwidth costs with our customized Content Delivery Network: RocketCDN is here to make your website faster and your visitors happy.
RocketCDN makes for an easy CDN integration to WordPress.
Once you’ve installed and activated RocketCDN to your WordPress site, the plugin will automatically rewrite all URLs, such as those for CSS, JavaScript, and images, to be served by a content delivery network. You will be able to link up your assets to your RocketCDN custom CName. Moreover, the CDN cache can be cleared from WordPress, making your content always up to date, super easily.
WHAT IS A CDN AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
The acronym CDN stands for Content Delivery Network: a CDN establishes a globally distributed network of edge servers between your website’s origin server and your visitors’ location.
Once the content of your site passes through them for the first time, the edge servers keep a copy of the static content (images, CSS and JavaScript files) and then deliver it to the end-users, allowing them to access the content a lot faster.
With a CDN, every HTTP request made by your users will be served from the nearest location possible, no matter where they’re geographically located.
If your website is serving a broad international audience, reaching people all over the world, the distance between your website’s server and your users’ is one of the crucial factors of web performance.
Think of a Content Delivery Network as a bridge that makes users closer to the websites they’re visiting, no matter where they are in the globe!
WHAT ABOUT PageSpeed Insights AND THE CORE WEB VITALS?
If you think that Google loves fast and secure websites, we can indeed confirm that enabling a CDN on your site is also beneficial for SEO and the PageSpeed Insights performance score. In fact, using a Content Delivery Network can boost the Largest Contentful Paint score – one of the Core Web Vitals metrics.
Furthermore, a CDN can also have a positive impact on your server response time. Server response time is the amount of time required between the moment a visitor makes a request (clicks on a link for example) to the moment the server responds to that request. According to Google PageSpeed Insights, you should aim for a server response time of less than 200 ms. The response time of a server is typically measured with what is known as time to first byte (TTFB).
Your website’s loading time significantly affects user experience which is why reducing server response time should be a primary goal of website owners and SEO experts.
