    Hi,

    I’m currently working on speeding up a WordPress blog, that has over 1.000 articles and a database of 40MB (total size of almost 1GB). I have the W3TC plugin installed and signed up with MaxCDN. OK so far, but something is keeping me from configuring CDN under W3TC CDN settings. It’s just a strange feeling that something might go wrong on this step.

    Some questions:
    – Is there any chance that WordPress will crash when adding a CDN service in W3 Total Cache?
    – Is it enough to back-up the W3 Total Cache config file and replace it when something goes wrong?
    – What else should I keep in mind?

    I just can’t afford it to crash. I must be sure that nothing goes wrong.

  • – Is there any chance that WordPress will crash when adding a CDN service in W3 Total Cache?

    We never know. ??

    No, if anything goes wrong anywhere, it is better to have the entire backup (files and the whole database).

    – What else should I keep in mind?

    If you are going to set up CNAME for the CDN part, then please set up the CNAME in advance and allow enough time for the DNS to propagate around the internet.

    Make sure that you set up your API Key through MAXCDN and enter your API ID AND API KEY along with the temporary url that they provided when you created your pull zone
