To verify if your CDN is working properly, look at the source code of your page. If all the CSS, JS, and image linkes say https://yourcdn.com/thefile instead of https://yourwebsite.com/thefile then your CDN is most likely working properly

You must setup a cookieless domain in order for the notification in Pagespeed to go away.

Your CDN will not show up in Yslow unless you add it to Firefox.

HOW DO I ADD MY CDN HOSTNAME TO YSLOW FOR RULE 2?

Rule 2 says to use a content delivery network (CDN). The score for this rule is computed by checking the hostname of each component against the list of known CDNs. Unfortunately, the list of “known CDNs” are the ones used by Yahoo!. Most likely these are not relevant to your web site, except for potentially yui.yahooapis.com. If you want an accurate score for your web site, you can add your CDN hostnames to YSlow using Firefox’s preferences. Here are the steps to follow:

Go to about:config in Firefox. You’ll see the current list of preferences.

Right-click in the window and choose New and String to create a new string preference.

Enter extensions.yslow.cdnHostnames for the preference name.
For the string value, enter the hostname of your CDN, for example, mycdn.com.

Restart Firefox.

Do not use quotes. If you have multiple CDN hostnames, separate them with commas.

If you specify CDN hostnames in your preferences, they’ll be shown under the details for Rule 2 in the Performance view.

I figured it out.

What might help everyone solve this problem is posting the exact server setups you are running. OS, php, mall etc. And also what cache and other settings you are running. Are you using memcache, apc, etc.

This way we can see if there is something related to all of your setups.

You could always use the support feature on the plugin and request paid support. I’m sure that the help would be much faster that way.

You can’t expect every question on he to be answered quickly when its free.

If someone changes their avatar it should automatically update it if you have the “Enable changed files upload” checked on the CDN settings page.

I am not the developer of this plugin, only a user, but as for the CDN looking on the server if it cannot find an item. I do not think this is possible out of the box.

It might be possible with some coding. How much I’m not sure.

Divyabh,

On the CDN settings page, there are two separate sections:

One to include files or directories that are not common or already included.

One to exclude specific files or directories. To exclude anything below a directory use a /* after the directory.

You will see a couple of these already in your settings.

Excellent and thanks!

Did you figure this out? I’m having the same problem.

I’m having the same problem. I’m running Multisite, no Buddypress though. The widget is blank and the link on the dashboard menu is not showing up for anyone other than admins.

I’m also using the members component. Is there a specific right/role that a user is supposed to have in order to have these areas populate?

Thank you very much! I will see if it works for me.

I’m no php expert, so forgive my questions?

What exactly is the switch_to_blog doing? I see that it is pointing to primary_blog. What does primary_blog do/mean?

jakobneander,

Would you mind posting the section of the userphoto plugin that you edited?

Thanks!

I’m having sort of the same problem once a day on every one of my sites. The sites do not load any JS or CSS, even though the files are there. I have to press refresh twice in order for the page to load correctly.

I’m not sure if this is browser dependent or not yet. Going to see if I can figure out what is causing it.

As per a discussion with Fredrick. Custom URLs (ie. any directory other than the root directory is not supported for Self-hosted CDNs). So if you’re running multisite with multiple subdomains and only one CDN all of your files will need to go in the root directory (public_html for me) in order it to work.

I’m thinking about creating a different CDN for every sub-domain so I can have some separation of files between domains.

Yeah it seems like Fredrick is too busy to support this plugin. I’ve posted a few problems related to the CDN with multisite and even sent in a bug report through the plugin with no response.

I’m no longer using the CDN for the time being.
