Description
Free image CDN that makes your WordPress site faster.
Images are the heaviest part of most WordPress pages. When they load slowly, visitors leave, Core Web Vitals fail, and Google ranks you lower.
This free image CDN plugin fixes that by serving your images from 300+ global edge servers. A visitor in Tokyo loads images from Asia. A visitor in London loads from Europe. Everyone gets faster pages.
60-second setup. No DNS changes. No external accounts. No settings to configure. Just activate and flip the switch.
Why Use an Image CDN?
- Faster page load times — Images load from the nearest server instead of traveling across the world from your host
- Better Core Web Vitals — Improve LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) by delivering images faster
- Higher PageSpeed scores — Google PageSpeed Insights will show improved performance
- Lower bounce rates — Visitors don’t wait for slow sites
How This Image CDN Works
- Install the free image CDN plugin from WordPress
- Flip the switch to activate
- Images instantly load from 300+ global CDN servers
That’s it. Your original images stay exactly where they are on your server. The plugin only changes URLs on your public pages. Deactivate it and everything returns to normal instantly.

FAQ
-
Is this really a free image CDN?
-
Yes. 100 GB of bandwidth per month, free forever. No credit card required. No trial period. Most WordPress sites never need to upgrade.
-
Will this image CDN improve my Core Web Vitals?
-
Yes. The image CDN improves LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) by serving images from servers close to your visitors. Faster image delivery means better Core Web Vitals scores.
-
How much will my PageSpeed score improve?
-
Results vary by site, but most users see significant improvements in their Google PageSpeed Insights scores after enabling the image CDN. The improvement is most noticeable for visitors far from your hosting server.
-
Does this CDN work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. The image CDN works with WooCommerce product images, galleries, thumbnails, and all image-heavy ecommerce content.
-
Will this CDN work with my page builder?
-
Yes. This image CDN works with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Gutenberg blocks, Bricks, Oxygen, and any other WordPress page builder.
-
Does the image CDN support WebP and AVIF?
-
Yes. The CDN serves all image formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, and SVG.
-
What if I go over my CDN bandwidth limit?
-
Your images will temporarily load directly from your server (the normal way) until your bandwidth resets next month. Nothing breaks — your site just loads images without the CDN temporarily.
-
Can I use this image CDN with caching plugins?
-
Yes. This image CDN works perfectly with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, and other WordPress caching plugins.
-
Is this image CDN safe? Will it break my site?
-
The image CDN cannot break your site. Your original images stay on your server completely untouched. The plugin only changes URLs on your public pages. If the CDN ever has issues, your site automatically falls back to loading images directly. Deactivate the plugin and everything returns to normal instantly.
-
Does this replace image optimization plugins?
-
No. This is an image delivery CDN, not an optimization tool. It makes images load faster by serving them from nearby servers. For making images smaller, use a compression plugin like ShortPixel, Imagify, or Smush. They work great alongside this image CDN.
-
Do I need to change my DNS for this CDN?
-
No. Unlike other CDN services, this image CDN works immediately without any DNS changes. Everything happens from your WordPress admin.
-
Can I use my own domain for CDN URLs?
-
Yes. All paid plans support custom domains (cdn.yoursite.com) with automatic SSL.
-
What happens if the image CDN goes down?
-
Your site automatically serves images directly from your server. Visitors won’t notice anything — images just load the normal way until the CDN is back.
