Frequently asked questions about the 20iCDN
Why use the 20iCDN
The speed of your website can impact your bottom line: when page load time increases from 1 second to 5 seconds, the probability of a user abandoning your page rises by 90% (Google). People are impatient and unwilling to wait for a slow web page. Latency costs you money, so that’s where a CDN and Website Acceleration Suite can help.
The free 20iCDN reduces latency through its edge caching and optimises your website content for snappy, responsive page loads. This means better search engine rankings, higher conversion rates, and lower data costs.
Why is a CDN important?
For any company that has an international presence – or a new business that would like an international presence – a CDN is important. It means that your website will load fast anywhere in the world.
Fast sites lead to more sales and better search performance. Whether you want to make money from home, or already run a successful online business, you need a CDN.
How does CDN work?
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is all about making a website load faster for all users, wherever they are in the world.
This is done by storing (caching) copies of your website on servers at the network edge. For example, if your website is hosted at a UK data centre, there might be a delay if you try to access that site from the USA. So, a copy of your website is stored on a server closer to the user, called a Point of Presence (POP).
Multiple copies of your site’s data are stored at different POPs throughout the world, so your site will load faster in remote places. Your users will navigate your site more efficiently, wherever they are.
While it’s good for users, the 20iCDN has other advantages. Search engines love fast-loading sites so there’s an SEO benefit to having a CDN too.
What if I just serve my local community? Why should I use a CDN?
You might think CDN may not be important to you if you’re a local ‘bricks and mortar’ business that only serves your nearby community. That’s understandable, but having a fast site gives you SEO advantages, even locally. So even if you don’t have an international market, it’s still worth activating your free CDN and making use of its website speed acceleration.
When should I use a CDN?
We say: since ours is free, use it all the time! There’s no disadvantage to using it, and unlike some providers, the 20iCDN doesn’t charge you for the bandwidth you use.
The only time you might want to turn off any of the Website Acceleration Suite optimisations are if they interfere with any complex functions on your site. Our friendly support team is here to help if you have any difficulties.
How do I use the 20iCDN?
The 20i CDN is quick and easy to use, with just a few clicks within our My20i control panel. We have a straightforward guide here to take you through the two-step process.
How long is my website’s data cached for at a CDN node?
Our CDN is used to cache static content. By default, your website files will be cached for 60 minutes before being automatically purged.
Does the 20iCDN perform cache warming?
Yes, the 20i CDN performs cache warming to ensure cached pages are served as frequently as possible. If another user requests the same web page and uses the same CDN node they’ll be served the ‘warmed’ cache generated by the first user. This ensures that they get a cache HIT on their first visit, meaning that the website will load faster.
What is OCSP stapling?
OCSP stapling is cutting-edge technology which optimises website performance and safeguards user privacy. With OCSP stapling, SSL certificates receive a signed OCSP response as part of the initial SSL/TLS handshake. This reduces the time required to check the revocation status of SSL certificates. OCSP is implemented automatically with 20iCDN, meaning that SSL on 20i is now even faster.
