Community Q&A

How does a CDN improve WordPress speed?

A CDN stores copies of your site’s static files on servers worldwide, serving them from the location closest to the visitor to reduce latency.

Do I need a caching plugin if I use a CDN?

Yes, a caching plugin handles server-side optimization, while the CDN handles the delivery of static assets to the end user.
