How to Use Dropbox as Free CDN for Your WordPress Blog

How to Use Dropbox as Free CDN for Your WordPress Blog: "It works something like this. You will make a new folder inside the Public folder of your Dropbox. Now you should duplicate your WordPress theme folder structure within this folder. Next, copy the URL of this public folder and enter this info in the Dropbox CDN plugin page. Follow these steps:

1) Install the Dropbox CDN WordPress plugin. Click to activate it.

2) Navigate to the Public folder of your Dropbox and create a new folder with the name you have chosen, e.g. cdn.

3) Now go to the Cpanel of your web host and download the entire directory wp-content to Dropbox.  This can be done easily if you could locate that folder from within the file manager, compress that folder and download it. You can then extract that zipped folder into your Dropbox CDN folder."

Make WordPress faster by integrating a Content Delivery Network

Make WordPress faster by integrating a Content Delivery Network: "Dramatically decrease load times

Integrating a CDN is one of the most effective ways to get your site to load faster for visitors, regardless of location, internet connection, and device (computer vs. mobile device).

This is great for user experience, as data have shown modest increases in site speed to have significant increases in user engagement and time spent on a site. Put simply, users refuse to wait for a slow-loading site."
