Add CDN
Connecting to an image CDN means using a third-party image hosting service to store images for your website.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
Increased Page Load Speed: CDN significantly reduces page load times, providing a better user experience.
Reduced Server Load: By distributing images through the CDN, your server handles fewer requests, reducing load and improving performance.
Scalability and High Load Tolerance: CDNs are designed to handle large amounts of traffic, helping your website scale and manage load better.
Security and Stable Connectivity: CDNs often offer security features like SSL/TLS, DDoS protection, and stable connectivity, ensuring users have the best experience possible.
Overall, using a CDN enhances the user experience and minimizes server costs.
Disadvantages:
Complexity in Management and Monitoring: Using a CDN requires managing and monitoring both the origin server and the CDN, increasing complexity in deployment and maintenance.
Reliability Depends on CDN Provider: If your CDN provider encounters issues or is out of your control, it can affect the performance and accessibility of your content.
Difficulty in Customization and Control: With a CDN, you have less control over how content is distributed, which can make customization and optimization more challenging.
In summary, using a CDN does bring certain risks for users, but you can still use a CDN WordPress host directly on the server. For more details, please refer to the table below.
