🚀 New in v2.3.1! Get enterprise-grade CDN acceleration in under 60 seconds with zero technical knowledge required.

What is Default CDN?

Default CDN is a revolutionary feature that provides instant CDN acceleration using preconfigured 1cdn.us subdomains powered by Cloudflare's global CDN infrastructure. Unlike traditional CDN setups that require DNS configuration and technical expertise, Default CDN works out-of-the-box with zero configuration.

⚡ Instant Setup

Enable in 3 clicks, working in 60 seconds. No waiting for DNS propagation.

☁️ Cloudflare Powered

Enterprise-grade infrastructure with 200+ global edge locations.

🛠️ Zero Configuration

No DNS changes, no CDN signup, no technical knowledge needed.

✅ Beginner Friendly

Perfect for those who want CDN benefits without the complexity.

🌐 How It Works

Default CDN uses preconfigured subdomains on the 1cdn.us domain, all powered by Cloudflare's infrastructure:

Preconfigured Subdomains:

  • js.1cdn.us → JavaScript files (.js)
  • cs.1cdn.us → CSS files (.css)
  • im.1cdn.us → Images (.jpg, .png, .gif, .webp, .svg)
  • ft.1cdn.us → Fonts (.woff2, .woff, .ttf, .otf)
  • mi.1cdn.us → Media (.mp4, .mp3, audio, video)

URL Transformation Example:

Before (Original):

https://yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css

After (Default CDN):

https://cs.1cdn.us/https://yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css

The asset is automatically cached and delivered from Cloudflare's nearest edge location to your visitors!

🔧 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Default CDN really powered by Cloudflare?

A: Yes! All 1cdn.us subdomains run on Cloudflare's enterprise infrastructure with 200+ global edge locations.

A: No! That's the beauty of Default CDN. No DNS changes, no CNAME records, no waiting for propagation.

Q: Can I use versioning with Default CDN?

A: You can switch anytime! Simply disable Default CDN and enable Custom CDN with your own domains. All settings are preserved.

Q: Does Default CDN work with Cloudflare integration?
