- Download and Install the DRUPAL CDN Plug-in from The Drupal CDN Plugin Page
- After install go to the General Tab and set the CDN Zone type to Mirror/Pull Zone
- Log into your CDN Control Panel
- Click on Manage Zones
- Click on Create a Pull Zone
- On /zones/pull/create – Pull Zone Creation page
- Give your zone a name; example would be “blog”
- Origin URL = Your blog URL as seen in browser window.
- Note; if your site redirects www to non-www or vice versa use the final destination URL.
- Custom Domain = A subdomain for example maxcdn.yourdomain.com that masks the temporary url that we provide you on zone creation. You can associate 7 custom domains to each of your zones. With W3 Total Cache you will only need 1 custom domain setup.
- If you choose to use a custom domain you will need to CNAME your custom domain to your temporary URL; this is usually performed by your web host or by your server administrator.
- Click on compression and then click Create
- Copy and record the temporary URL and any custom domain for future reference. You can always see these again under the manage section of each zone.
- Go back into your DRUPAL plug in and integrate your new Pull Zone using the temporary URL or custom domain URL.
Your site is now officially using the CDN. To verify, go to your blog and view source by right clicking on the page. If you see the temporary URL or custom domain replacing your normal CDN your installation was a success.
