For Self-Hosted WordPress Users

MaxCDN – 25% off

MaxCDN is the industry leader in content delivery network helping to improve the performance of your site.

How does it improve site performance? When a user comes to your self-hosted WordPress site, they are redirected to your web host’s server. This server is located in a specific place, typically wherever your host is based. A Content Deliver Network (CDN) is a whole network of servers, spread throughout the world. With a CDN, when a user comes to your site they are offered a cached version of the static content (CSS files, js files, images, etc.) based on their geographic location.

MaxCDN has 25% off with three packages available.
