Description
Aptranet CDN Integration accelerates your WordPress site by rewriting static asset URLs to use your Aptranet CDN distribution. It fetches distributions automatically and provides an intuitive interface for managing your CDN settings.
Short Description
Integrate Aptranet CDN for faster site performance.
Full Description
Aptranet CDN Integration is designed to enhance your WordPress site’s speed and performance by delivering static assets (such as images, scripts, and styles) via the Aptranet Content Delivery Network. This plugin simplifies the process of connecting your website to the CDN with an intuitive settings interface.
Key features include:
* Automatic Distribution Fetching:
Connect to the Aptranet API to automatically retrieve your available CDN distributions.
* Easy Distribution Selection:
Choose your desired distribution from a dropdown that displays the distribution name instead of just the ID. The plugin automatically updates your CDN Base URL.
* Manage Distribution Access:
A dynamic “Manage Distribution” button links directly to the Aptranet Management Console where you can view detailed analytics and manage your distribution settings.
* Asset URL Rewriting:
The plugin rewrites URLs for attachments, scripts, styles, images embedded in content, and responsive srcset attributes. Your front-end assets are served by the CDN for improved load times, while your WordPress admin remains unaffected.
* Lightweight and Secure:
With proper sanitization for settings and adherence to WordPress coding standards, the plugin is both secure and optimized.
* Minimal Permissions Required:
Your API Key only requires the CDN.ListDistributions permission to fetch distribution details from Aptranet’s API.
External Services
This plugin connects to external services provided by Aptranet:
* Aptranet API:
The plugin fetches available CDN distributions from the Aptranet API at https://api.aptranet.com/cdn/distributions.
Data Sent: Your Access Key (in the Authorization header) and API Secret (in the Aptranet-Secret header) are sent to retrieve distribution information.
Documentation: Aptranet API Documentation
* Aptranet Management Console:
The plugin provides a “Manage Distribution” button that links to https://console.aptranet.com/cdn/distributions/<DISTRIBUTION_ID>/analytics for detailed analytics and management.
Note: Users must have an account with Aptranet to access these features.
