CDN images delivery

Hi,

great features coming soon. I just checked the teaser for new update.
SEO oriented, which is the right way to go.

I 'd add one thing - "load speed" is the most important factor at Google right now.
And the most important to have a quick site is to have images (and some other files) located on CDN servers.
That is, if you aim worldwide.

In moment, I need to change separately every page in c-panel.
No need to tell, how time-consuming that is.

I need to change:
img src="images
img src="https://cdn.mysite.com/images

And for cards separately:
src="images
src="https://cdn.mysite.com/images

There is an option in c-panel, just by click, to add Cloudflare as CDN.
However, after many testings, Cloudflare proved to be far less effective, comparing to some other CDN providers.

Any ideas how to solve this?

I am not sure how this will improve the loading speed, unless you are sure the CDN is faster than your own web server.
Anyway you can already use absolute paths in WWB for images and other files.

I could possibly see using a CDN is useful if your site is extremely image heavy per page; otherwise, I don't really see an advantage for the extra trouble.

Ok, thanks, I'll do the absolute paths. That would be the way to solve it.
I've done tons of measurements - for instance, Sydney goes from 12 sec. to 5 per page.
Same for all distant places in South America and Asia. Some go to even 30 sec. load time without CDN.
CDN is a must, if going worldwide. And yes, if having lots of images.
