WP Rocket 3.22 ships with a built-in CDN at no extra cost for existing license holders. You can activate it for up to three pages directly from a new Content Delivery tab inside the plugin.
What a CDN does
A CDN (content delivery network) stores copies of your pages on servers around the world. When someone visits your site, content is delivered from the server closest to them rather than from your main host. The result is faster load times, especially for visitors who live far from where your site is hosted.
What the free tier includes
The free tier covers three pages, your homepage plus two others you choose. WP Rocket routes those pages through 10 edge locations worldwide with unlimited bandwidth. You can pause, resume, or swap out pages at any time, exclude specific files from delivery, and clear the CDN cache without leaving the plugin.
Which pages to target
WP Rocket recommends pointing the free tier at your highest-value pages. A landing page, a pricing page, or a product page are good candidates. These are the pages where load speed has the biggest effect on whether a visitor stays or leaves.
Measuring the improvement
Version 3.22 works alongside Rocket Insights, the performance monitoring hub introduced in 3.21. Run a speed test before you enable the CDN, then run one after. Both tools live in the same plugin, so you do not need a separate service to see whether the change made a difference.
Going further
A paid upgrade, RocketCDN Pro, extends coverage to your entire site with more than 100 edge locations worldwide.
To get started, update WP Rocket to version 3.22 and open the new Content Delivery tab in the plugin settings.
