Am I right that it does NOT automatically upload content?

  • I’m used to other plugins that link e.g. an Amazon CDN and they automatically sync content from the WordPress site to the cloud storage.
    In the plugin settings page it says “After that, just click on the Enable bunny.net button and enjoy a faster website.”, but it doesn’t seem to load the content, just replace the links.
    Did I miss something or is it necessary to always manually upload photos, videos, changed js and css files etc?

  • You don’t need to upload manually the files. They will be “uploaded” when a user uses the website for X time as far as I have tested.

    thank you for answering, Gabriel. I still don’t understand how that is supposed to work though.
    When I activated the plugin it immediately replaced the links to images resulting in a broken website.
    Are you saying it would have started automatically uploading those photos after some more (“x”) hits?

    @wolfatadfilm please check:
    1. you did add all the information needed in the plugin right?
    2. Did you add balance to the website?

    As far as I know (haven’t checked with them or done a lot of testing) but they are using a pull-push type of CDN. So if a person goes into the website (your), Bunny will download everything after the load and save it with them for future use. (so everyone else can load the files as it should)

    Thanks for your response again. I will test this on a website that is not in production. What you are describing sounds more like normal cache, not a CDN delivery, but I will do my tests. Just didn’t have enough patience with the site I needed it for, so quickly manually uploaded everything so that it worked. I’ll let you know here…

    Mystery solved. If anyone runs into the same issue, here’s where I went wrong:
    The WordPress website in question is part of an app setup that extensively uses videos which I put onto a bunny storage zone earlier.
    When I installed the bunnycdn plugin I feeded it the pull zone associated with that storage zone (as this is how it works for the in-app videos). The missing link was that the pull zone was never configured to “pull” content from the WordPress site, it was connected to the storage zone only. That’s why I had to manually upload to the storage.

    The very simple solution was to use a new pull zone for the plugin. That moment everything worked automagically, not after “X times”, but immediately. Thanks for bearing with me.

    Also not working here. how do I configure the pull zone to pull?

    I’ve got a pull zone connected to storage and connected to wp. Nothing happens and the site is broken (all the links go to the cdn).
