To verify your CDN is functioning properly, follow these testing methods:
- Use browser developer tools to check if static assets are loading from CDN URLs
- Run a website speed test using tools like GTmetrix or Pingdom
- Compare load times from different global locations
- Verify image URLs show the CDN domain
For comprehensive monitoring, install the Query Monitor plugin to track asset loading and performance metrics. If you notice issues, check your CDN settings and ensure proper configuration in your WordPress caching plugin. The Asset CleanUp plugin can help optimize which assets are served through your CDN.
