⚡ Default CDN - Instant CDN Acceleration
Powered by Cloudflare - No DNS Changes 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!
