Integrate WordPress with Medianova CDN

Learn how to integrate WordPress with Medianova CDN to deliver static and media content faster, improve page load times, and enhance your website’s overall performance.

WordPress is one of the world’s most widely used content management systems (CMS), offering flexibility through open-source development, easy setup, and extensive theme and plugin support. With Medianova CDN, your WordPress site’s static assets—such as images, scripts, and videos—are served from the nearest CDN edge node instead of your origin server, ensuring faster delivery to global users.

We recommend backing up your WordPress files and database before starting the integration.

Prerequisites

• Access to your WordPress Admin Panel

• A Medianova CDN Resource created in the Medianova Control Panel

• Optional: Separate CDN resources for static images (Small Resource) and large media files such as videos (Large Resource)

Integration Steps

1

Create a CDN Resource

• Log in to the Medianova Control Panel.

• Create a Small Resource for static assets (e.g., .jpg, .png) and a Large Resource for video files (e.g., .mp4). → Copy the CDN URLs of your created resources; they will be used in plugin configuration.

2

Install the Medianova CDN Plugin

• Log in to your WordPress Admin Panel.

• In the left-hand menu, go to Plugins → Add New.

• In the search bar, type Medianova and press Enter.

• Install the Medianova CDN plugin and click Activate.

3

Configure the Plugin

• After activation, go to Settings → CDN Medianova from the left menu.

• Enter your CDN URLs, specify the folders to include, and list file extensions to exclude.

• Click Save Changes to apply your configuration.

Tips and Best Practices

• To include multiple file extensions, separate them with commas (,). Example: jpg, png, gif, svg

• You can view your CDN Resource URLs in the Medianova Control Panel under CDN → Resources or by visiting Medianova CDN Integration Docs.
