Grav CDN integration

Introduction

Grav is a fast, simple, and flexible file-based platform designed by Rockettheme team. It uses a file system to store data, and here are some reasons why this CMS is worth your attention:

  • It doesn’t need installation.
  • It features Markdown for writing articles.
  • It’s simple and safe.
  • It’s constantly updated.

Grav isn't a slow CMS, but you may do it even faster with the help of CDN. Here are some detailed instructions on how to do integrate Grav with CDN correctly.

Before you start

  • Before you take any steps please back up your files and database.
  • In the following, we will integrate a CDN service using the CDN domain 12345.r.cdnsun.net. Please visit the Services/How-To section to obtain your CDN domain.
  • To integate a CDN service on https:// website you can use https://12345.r.cdnsun.net or you can use a custom CDN domain with SSL enabled.
  • If your website embeds custom fonts then please first enable CORS for them.
  • Before you take any steps please make sure that your CDN domain is ready-to-use here.
