Free CDN

Note
Looking for a similar plugin but for commercial CDNs like Akamai, Limelight, EdgeCast, Amazon and so on? CDN Rewrites to the rescue!

For busy websites, using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to transfer static content such as images, javascripts, stylesheets, Flash etc. is highly recommended (as listed in Yahoo!’s Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site) as it reduces server load and bandwidth thus improves stability and availability.

There is a catch – Commerical CDN’s like Akamai and Limelight are not cheap at all. Good news, we have an exception however – the free, P2P-based CoralCDN allows us to take full advantage of a powereful CDN without spending a dime. How to use it? Well, basically, just append `.nyud.net` to the hostname of any URL, and that URL will be handled by Coral – simple.

This plugin takes that simplicity one step further (or closer?) by rewriting your static files’ URL’s (JavaScripts, CSS, images etc.) so that they are served from Coral servers instead of your own. You don’t have to touch anything! Just enable it, and boom! your static contents are handled with care by Coral’s powerful server clusters.

If you are paying bandwidth fee, this plugin hopefully helps with your bills. Even if you don’t, enabling it may save your site in peak times.

Features

  • Just enable the plugin and call it done – no extra steps required!
  • You can exclusively select the content types to be served through CoralCDN – currently supporting JS, CSS, images, inline background images, and <object>’s
  • Additional URL’s can be added as includes or excludes
  • Debug mode gives you a good preview to make sure nothing goes wrong
  • Works normally with other plugins. Especially useful if run along with WP Super Cache
  • AJAX’ed admin section makes it quick and easy to adjust the settings

Installation

  1. Download the plugin
  2. Extract into a folder
  3. Upload the entire to `wp-content/plugins/` directory of your WordPress installation
  4. Enable it via Plugins panel
  5. It should now work out of the box. If you want to tweak it a bit, head to Settings->Free CDN

  • Hi

    What could have happened?
    Appreciate your time..

  • It seems to have some troubles with the WP Google Analytics plugin : the script tag is rewritten in an improper way and is not usable…

  • Thank you for plugins but I set your plugins at mysite and my themes dont work
    http://yaramazadam.com . Thank you again

  • Am getting this error message when I load my site…”Content Encoding Error
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
     
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.”
    Any idea what I should be doing. My site does not load. Is there a conflict with another plugin.
     

  • i have a problem with your plugin, i debug mode it says ” script will be written into http://www.mysite.com.nyud.net/script ——————————————” and i think this is the cause that breaks my adsense,heyos,analytics code…how can i resolve?thanks

  • It breaks my site if I use it with AWSOM PixGallery.  Excluding the folders that the Gallery images are housed in doesn’t help.  Unfortunately, I can’t give up AWSOM because I’m an artist and I need the gallery feature.  Any ideas?

  • Sounds good for my Zaubershop. I’ll check it out.

  • I tried and did good job on my rock salt website. But after I installed other plugins some errors occurred. Thanks anyway.

  • This plugin is perfect, it can save you lots and lots of bandwidth however its very slow. Without FreeCDN my site was loading for 6-7 seconds, and when i enabled FreeCDN it was loading for 20+ seconds, at least 3 times slower.
    But keep in mind ITS FREE, so dont ask for too much, just rate their plugin with 5 stars, cuz it does its job perfectly, without changing anything on you wordpress configuration.

    Good Job Guys

  • I’m using your plugin on my blog.Thanks for your plugin.

  • Its great plugin, i use in blog Happiness and Earthquake Quotes is fast
