what cdn should I use with serverpilot ? cloudflare or keycdn

KeyCDN provides you with more flexibility compared to CloudFlare’s free plan. For instance, with KeyCDN you can use origin shield, push zones, free custom SSL, free Let’s Encrypt, real-time analytics and more. If you want to use some of these features with CloudFlare, you’ll need to upgrade your plan (as you already mentioned).

You should still be using a caching plugin on your Wordpress site to further accelerate the delivery of assets. With KeyCDN, you’ll need to integrate it directly within your Wordpress site, however this is pretty straightforward: https://www.keycdn.com/support/wordpress-cdn-integration-with-w3-total-cache/

Hey @sp234sp I work for section.io, and we allow you to do all that stuff! You may want to check us out.

Hello there,

and can We add the code line to config NGINX that Keycdn advise? Serverpilot say that we should not make changes in that file.

Any Idea please?

Thank you very much!

Step 3) Nginx Config#
In this step, we’re going to make some configuration adjustments to the Nginx config file. These rules define when to bypass the cache as well as define cache-control values.

server {
    server_name origin.example.com;
    listen 80;

    root /var/www/example;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    set $cache_path $request_uri;

    # bypass cache for POST requests
    if ( $request_method = POST ) {
        set $cache_path 'nocache';
    }

    # don't cache login/admin URLs
    if ($request_uri ~* "/(wp-login.php|wp-admin|login.php|backend|admin)"){
        set $cache_path 'nocache';
    }

    # don't cache if there is a cookie called PHPSESSID
    if ($http_cookie ~* "PHPSESSID"){
        set $cache_path 'nocache';
    }

    # bypass cache for logged in users
    if ( $http_cookie ~ (wp-postpass|wordpress_|comment_author)_ ) {
        set $cache_path 'nocache';
