Advanced Scenarios

Setting up a Custom CDN CNAME

Simply point a CNAME from your hosting or DNS management panel towards your zapwp.com hostname.

In the example above you'd point cdn.mysite.com to 42b2d6.zapwp.com and replace the url src in your script to <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.mysite.com/generate_js:true"></script> this will allow for your domain to serve images from cdn.mysite.com using the power of WP Compress Real-Time Image Optimization!

Images not loading from CDN or duplicate loading of images

In order for us to intercept the images before they load, your images must have a data-src tag, rather than a src tag. This is due to browser prioritizations. While most sites use data-src by default for best practice with lazy loading, you'll need to change from src to data-src.

If you're looking for local optimization on a Non-WordPress site you may use our standalone version.
