    Use Cases

    CloudFlare

    1. Create a CloudFlare account If you don’t have a CloudFlare account, create one and add a domain using this tutorial.

    2. Create a subdomain Using cPanel, create a subdomain for your CDN content and point it to your Magento install directory. Here my install is in public_html/magento.

      You can call the subdomain anything you like but we recommend something similar to cdn for ease of recognition.

      Create subdomain

    3. Create a CNAME record in CloudFlare’s DNS settings Follow this guide to add a CNAME record in your CloudFlare dashboard, though instead of using “blog” use “cdn” or whatever subdomain you created in step 2, as below.

    Create cname

    1. Review CloudFlare’s DNS settings Check that the only record that has its traffic routed through CloudFlare’s servers is the one you created in step 3.

      In the image below you can see that only the CNAME record cdn is passing through CloudFlare’s network, as indicated by the orange cloud.

      If there are any other records that are passing through CloudFlare’s network, i.e. those that have an orange cloud, click on them and ensure they are grey and therefore no longer being passed through CloudFlare’s network.
