Configuration

To configure the CDN extension, navigate to Extensions → My extensions Once there, you can click on the 3 dots on the right-hand side and select Configure to access the extension settings.
When configuring, it is important that you order a CDN server in the Customer Center and assign it a CDN domain that you want to use for your store. See: Order Content Delivery Network
After ordering, you will find the most important data you need to configure the CDN plugin in your Customer Center under Content Delivery Network.
Creoline Customer Center - Content Delivery Network](/api/attachments.redirect?id=0a90e449-12d6-43d1-bc35-a0e9a2794e3a)
Once there, you can change the destination server to your server, sXXXXX.creolineserver.de or if you use a working domain sXXXXX.creoline.cloud, of course you can also use your TLD domain.
The CDN domain to be used is important for the configuration of the CDN plugin. You can enter the CDN domain in your CDN plugin configuration under Creoline API access data → CDN domain.
Next, you need to enter the shop domain and the sales channel you want to use in the CDN plugin configuration.
Please ensure that the directory for the sales channel is entered correctly. You can find this information in the settings of your sales channels. If you have any questions, please contact our support team.
It is also possible to load the CSS (Cascading Stylesheet) and JS (JavaScript) via the CDN. You can also load the selected content via the CDN in Shopware Administration. You can use the corresponding sliders in the configuration for this purpose.
Last but not least, once you have configured the CDN plugin, you should save the changed settings so that they take effect.
