A CDN is a Content Delivery Network. Our CDN distributes your site by sharing files across multiple servers around the globe. This improves both site speed and SEO. Included in all WP Hosting and WC Hosting plans.
How does a CDN make my site run faster?
Lightens the load
First, a CDN distributes files and content across multiple “edge” servers. This takes the load off the “origin” server (where the website is hosted). This frees up memory and resources, and is helpful for websites that are image and video intensive. It also helps to speedup sites that have numerous plugins.
A shorter Path
Second, a CDN reduces the distance from the website visitor, to a server that is closer to them. This results in less time to load a web page, as the business may be hosted on a different continent from the visitor. This is a huge benefit for clients who have (or desire) global reach.
How does a CDN benefit SEO?
Higher SEO rankings
Google loves fast websites! A CDN can increase page load speed. This has a direct and positive impact on SEO and site rankings. By using Chrome metrics, Google is now favorably ranking faster loading websites.

FAQ's
The Spark CDN does not change your DNS. You can keep your current Name Servers.
No additional CNAME or A Records are needed. Spark Web Hosting will help with any integrations required.
Our CDN is setup for WordPress. You will need to install a caching plugin to connect your website to the CDN.
We recommend WP Super Cache or WP Fastest Cache for best results. Spark Web Hosting will install either plugin, and connect your CDN.
No, the CDN does not make changes to your website. However, the CDN will preface your file names before serving them to the web. You will notice URL changes when viewing the source code of your web pages, with a new your-site.b-cdn.net URL and ID.
If you wish to use a more friendly URL, such as cdn.mysite.com, we can configure the CDN to enable that. This may require domain access if your Name Servers are not pointed to us.
The Spark CDN caches files on the edge servers permanently. This won’t affect adding new content such as blog posts, or WooCommerce transactions etc.
However, if you are a web designer or developer making updates or changes, using a CDN can have a direct impact. Visitors will view cached files on the CDN location closest to them, and not your most recent site changes. This is easily corrected.
First, we recommend you disable the CDN from your website. Then, clear your site cache, via the WordPress caching plugin. This will make sure people also see your most recent changes.
Once done, please contact support, and ask us to clear the CDN cache on the edge servers. After 5-10 minutes, the CDN network will access your most recent site files.
Then, you can reconnect the CDN via your WordPress caching plugin.
Yes! We offer a full 30-Day Money Back Guarantee within the first 30 days of service. If you are not 100% satisfied our CDN makes your site run faster, we will return your payment in full.
