How do I troubleshoot common CDN issues in WordPress?

When encountering CDN issues, follow this troubleshooting guide:

  • Clear all cache layers (browser, CDN, and WordPress)
  • Verify DNS propagation is complete
  • Check for SSL certificate mismatches
  • Ensure proper file permissions

Common issues and solutions:

  • Mixed content warnings: Install Really Simple SSL plugin
  • Slow loading: Check CDN endpoint configuration
  • 404 errors: Verify path mapping settings
  • Image not displaying: Check CDN URL structure

For persistent issues, temporarily disable CDN to isolate the problem source and consult your CDN provider’s support documentation.
