How CDN and Caching Work Together for Lightning-Fast WordPress Sites

Even with great hosting, global visitors may face slow load times. That’s where CDNs and caching team up.

What is a CDN?

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) stores your website files on multiple servers around the world. Visitors download assets from the nearest location.

Top CDN Providers:

  • Cloudflare
  • Bunny.net
  • KeyCDN

How Caching Enhances CDN

CDNs cache your static assets (CSS, JS, images), while local caching plugins like WP Rocket handle dynamic pages.

Result: Global reach + instant page delivery.

Combining CDN + Caching

  1. Install CDN (Cloudflare or BunnyCDN)
  2. Set up WP Rocket
  3. Enable “CDN Integration” under WP Rocket settings
