Atakdomain CDN

My free Cloudflare integration protects all websites hosted on Atakdomain. In addition to firewall and DDoS protection, Atakdomain customers can also access a high-performance HTTP/3 CDN backed by Cloudflare's powerful global network.

In order to take advantage of the new Atakdomain CDN, existing customers need to enable our free Cloudflare integration, and in some cases, need to update their website.

The new Atakdomain CDN uses the domain name of your site. If you are converting to a new Atakdomain CDN and your site has CDN URLs in the theme or plugin settings, or if the file contains hard-coded CDN URLs, you will need to delete them, or ask them to change your URL location if necessary .

For new websites, no additional steps are required.

How fast is the CDN file?

To test the performance of the new Atakdomain CDN, we conducted a series of benchmark tests in 10 locations around the world. In this experiment, we used a WordPress blog with a unique theme, and various content and graphic content hosted in the Google Cloud Data Center in Iowa, Iowa. The page we tested generated a total of more than 30 static material requests (JS, CSS, images, fonts, etc.) with a total size of 3.2 MB. Finally, we measured the total page load time 3 times for each location and the average time for each location.

In our performance measurement tests, we found that Atakdomain CDN activation decreased by 44% during page load. In the table below, you can see the before and after compilation for different locations.

Please note that the performance improvement of Atakdomain CDN may not be seen in a location near the origin server where we were testing

Cloudflare's network covers nearly 200 locations in more than 100 countries/regions and operates one of the largest CDN networks in the world. In contrast, other popular CDN servers such as KeyCDN, Bunny CDN, and StackPath have less than 60 points of availability (PoP).

This means that by activating Atakdomain CDN, your WordPress site will be able to provide static assets from many other places around the world without having to pay extra work fees!

Advantages of Atakdomain CDN

Using the Cloudflare network, Atakdomain CDN provides many advantages over traditional CDN servers. Let's take a look at some of the biggest advantages of Atakdomain CDN:

HTTP/3 support

Atakdomain CDN for HTTP/3, with the latest version of the HTTP protocol supported by this machine. Compared with HTTP/2, HTTP/3 provides faster 0-RTT phones, SSL encryption requirements, better performance, and more.

Now that major web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox have added HTTP/3 support, it is important that CDN providers also start to support it. Currently, Atakdomain CDN is one of the few CDNs that supports HTTP/3. That being said, if your guest browser still does not support HTTP/3, you don’t need to worry, because Atakdomain CDN will automatically return HTTP/2 when needed.

Main domain support

Cloudflare is a reverse proxy utility, which means you don't need a second domain to take advantage of its various features. Thanks to Atakdomain CDN, your website cache can replace the second CDN domain of the main domain to provide services.

Although Google claims that there are no SEO benefits of providing images from your primary domain, there are still some benefits, and you don’t need to rely on a second CDN domain. For example, if you share an image URL that uses a secondary CDN domain, it may return an HTTP 404 error if you change the CDN server in the future. By caching and serving static assets in your main domain, you won't have to worry about this issue.

Finally, you don't have to worry about rewriting the URL of the second domain. The function of the attribute serves the underlying domain, and at the same time it improves compatibility with WordPress developers.

How to activate Atakdomain CDN

To activate Atakdomain CDN, log in to MyAtakdomain, go to Website> Site Name> Atakdomain CDN, and click Activate Atakdomain CDN.

 Enable Atakdomain CDN on MyAtakdomain.

Next, confirm this change by clicking the Enable Atakdomain CDN button in the pop-up/modal window.

 Click the back button on Atakdomain CDN to confirm that you want to activate Atakdomain CDN.

How to disable (or clear) Atakdomain CDN.

After Atakdomain CDN is activated, the green icon next to Enabled means that Atakdomain CDN is now active! On this page, there are now two buttons-Disable and Clear CDN cache.

• Disable: Press this button to disable Atakdomain CDN.

• Clear CDN cache: Press this button to clear the CDN cache. If you see conflicts on the front end of your website, clearing the CDN cache first is a good first step. For example, if you make some changes to the CSS but don’t see the changes in front of you, the old CSS files may be cached. Clearing the CDN cache will be one of the first things you will try in the process of solving the problem.

 Disable Atakdomain CDN or clear CDN cache in MyAtakdomain.

Atakdomain CDN test

Since Atakdomain CDN does not use a secondary CDN domain, you cannot verify that the CDN is valid by scanning the URL of static files, but you can test it with a network speed test tool.

Before proceeding with the speed test, we recommend that you check the static content of the HTTP headers to make sure they are loaded from the Atakdomain CDN. There are two ways to control HTTP headers-web browser and terminal.

How to control Atakdomain CDN using a web browser

You can use the web browser development tool to check whether the Atakdomain CDN is valid. In this example, we will use Google Chrome to check for static HTTP headers. To start using Chrome Developer Tools, right-click the page and click "Inspect."

 Right-click and select "Check" to launch Chrome Developer Tools.

Next, click the Torgilok tab and reload the page. When the page loads, you will see a list of static properties of the page on the left side of the developer tool window. To verify that Atakdomain CDN is working properly, click on any static object (CSS, JS, image file, or web font) loaded from your domain.

 HTTP headers in the Network tab of Chrome Developer Tools.

In the Titles tab, scroll down until you see Response Titles. In this section, there should be a cf-cache-status header with a HIT value. If you see different values, such as MISS or DYNAMIC, try refreshing the page multiple times to track the CDN cache.

How Atakdomain controls CDN on the terminal

If you are familiar with using the terminal (command line), you can also use the curl command to check HTTP headers. First, you need to find a static website URL on your website. To do this, right-click on the picture on your website and copy the URL.

Next, use the following command and replace the URL at the end of the command with your cost URL.

curl -L -s -o /dev/null -D-https://atakdomaincdn.atakdomainlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/post-one.jpg

After executing this command, you should receive the following response:

 Check the cf-cache status: HIT and ki-cache-tag are included in the response to open the static components in the terminal.

If Atakdomain CDN is enabled, there must be a HIT value next to the cf-cache-status header. If you see HIT DYNAMIC or MISS, try running this command a few more times to clear the CDN cache. You should also see the ki-cache tag in your response, which indicates that the attribute is served by our Atakdomain CDN.

Important notes

Here are some important tips about Atakdomain CDN integration.

• If you use a third-party CDN, we recommend deactivating Atakdomain before activating the CDN. Using multiple CDN functions for a single site may cause material cleanup issues.

• If you use your Cloudflare account alongside Atakdomain's Cloudflare integration, your cache and optimization settings will override Atakdomain settings.

• The maximum cacheable file size is 5 GB.

• Static properties will not be automatically provided via HTTPS. Enable mandatory HTTPS in MyAtakdomain to ensure that all households provide services via HTTPS.
