## Description
CDN Enabler is a simple and easy to use WordPress plugin that rewrites URLs, such
as those for CSS, JavaScript, and images, to be served by a content delivery network(
CDN). This helps improve site performance, reliability, and scalability by offloading
the majority of traffic to a CDN.
#### Features
* Fast and efficient rewrite engine
* Easy cache purging (when a [KeyCDN](https://www.keycdn.com) account is connected)
* Include URLs in the rewrite by file extensions
* Exclude URLs in the rewrite by strings
* WordPress multisite network support
* WordPress REST API support
* Works perfectly with [Cache Enabler](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cache-enabler/)
#### How does the rewriting work?
CDN Enabler captures page contents and rewrites URLs to be served by the designated
CDN.

### [Please don’t use this plugin and their CDN services](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-dont-use-this-plugin-and-their-cdn-services/)

I am not happy about the KEYCDN services. I had been using KeyCDN services for 6
months, which I canceled. After canceling, I noticed that all image URLs on my WordPress
website were completely broken, and they still show the KeyCDN image URLs even though
I have uninstalled their plugin and services. Now, I am manually editing and changing
all the image URLs. I am very disappointed with their services.

I am impressed, CDN enabler was also able to handle wp-json 100% without any issue.
Thanks
