Hi everyone,

I understand there are some extensions for serving downloads via a CDN, and some others for uploading images from external URL's. However, I have not found any extension that syncs automatically all the images files with a CDN account (like Amazon S3), so that the images get served from a CDN server. This would increase performance dramatically. If I wanted to start working on creating this extension, where should I start with? I am also aware of the fact that serving images from a sub-domain increases performance, I actually tried it, but I get a lot of broken images, I don't know why...

Cheers,
Iraklis

I'm not sure you have a full understanding of how CDN's operate these days on the most part, typically they are a pull/sync operation that when a request happens it will grab it from the server then cache it on the server for X number of days .. thus removing the complicated headache of having to worry about a full sync.

Hey,

Thanks, I know how CDN works, I am just asking if there is any way I can use product images from external URL's (I will take care that this is on a CDN) instead of using images hosted on the same server as the OC installation.

Cheers,

Code: Select all

On "config.php" (root and admin folder0 there is :
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost/x/');
define('HTTP_IMAGE', 'http://localhost/x/image/');
define('HTTP_ADMIN', 'http://localhost/x/admin/');

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://localhost/x/');
define('HTTPS_IMAGE', 'http://localhost/x/image/');
Is that what you looking for ?

You are able to automatically upload images of products and categories into Cloudinary CND using this module.
This is not just a backup, this is a CDN image location.
