Can WHMCS take advantage of a CDN?

Hi,

 

I use WHMCS with the default template, and my server in located in UK and almost all my users are located in Europe. A also have a few in USA.

 

I see a lot of advertising of CDN's, my question is if WHMCS can take advantage of a CDN. In a simple way, will WHMCS be a lot faster for users around the globe using a CDN, or if because of WHMCS nature a CDN will not brinf performance improvment?

 

If, yes (if a CDN improves WHMCS perofrmance for users around the globe), is there any CDN recommendations or any ready made plugin for integrating with a CDN?

 

Thanks

CDN will improve a bit of performance.

 

You can start by trying out free service of CloudFlare. They have 23 worldwide locations where they will cache your data and display it to the user. However, WHMCS being so dynamic to the end customer only the Static part of the template will be cached - css, images, html, js .

Hello,

 

CDN's are for content delivery - They are best suited for delivery of static content. That being that you'll still need to send queries back to the database at the main server, it will improve page speed a bit, however I'm not sure you would see the improvement you may be looking for.

 

That being said, OnApp & CloudFlare are great resources.
