IPS CDN integration

Introduction

IPS CMS is an online platform that gives you a nice opportunity to create your own forums, blogs and image galleries. It is also widely used in eCommerce. IPS CMS is widespread because it gives an opportunity to:

  • Introduce your brand to new audiences.
  • Enhance communication inside your enterprise.
  • Improve your support team work.
  • Grow customer loyalty.

If you have any problems with IPS CMS performance, you may speed it up with the help of CDN. The detailed instructions on how to integrate a CDN with IPS CMS are given below.

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.
