Q: Pardon my noob question, not much of a techie guy.
Does your Bunny CDN deliver only optimized images or the whole website with everything in it?
If I purchase this, does that mean I will not need cloud hosting anymore? I can just get a normal host and use your Bunny CDN with it?
Thanks!

May 15, 2024A: HI ah_quan,
That's a very good question, some CDN-style services do both assets and page content, so it's an important distinction to make.
Easy IO is a pull-mode CDN for assets-only (images, JS, CSS, fonts, and such). Our SWIS plugin will add page caching if your hosting does not already have server-based page caching. Plus it has a bunch of other optimization tools for JS/CSS to complement our image optimization services.
All that said, I never recommend going cheap on hosting. Not sure what you're using, but we recommend WP Engine. Been with them for 4 years and no regrets on that decision. Not cheap, but worth every penny.
ah_quanThank you for your quick reply.
So I pop into the the control panel of my webhosting and here are some details:
"Global Edge Caching - Activated
We automatically cache static content at our edge, ensuring rapid delivery of Images, JavaScript and CSS files to all your visitors around the world. "
"Custom Cache Settings - 3/3 Activated
Image Cache - 1 day
CSS Cache - 1 day
JavaScript Cache - 1 day"
By any chance these info are enough to say this is also a pull CDN?
If yes, then to use your plugin effectively, I should disable my host's CDN? I assume it needs to prevent "competition" or conflict"?
Again, thank you for your patience.
Oh, it also has this, if this helps:
"Dynamic Cache - Activated
Enabling our Dynamic Cache provides the ability to cache any resource at our edge by using public Cache-Control and Expires headers."

Indeed, that looks like a pull-mode CDN, so you'd want to disable it so that Easy IO can deliver and optimize your images, JS & CSS.
