How to Set Up FlyingCDN in FlyingPress

Updated this week

FlyingCDN helps deliver your website content faster by serving assets and full pages from a global network. Here’s how to set it up:

Step 1: Add your site to FlyingCDN

  1. Log in to your FlyingCDN dashboard.

  2. Click Add new site.

  3. Enter your root domain (e.g., example.com). Avoid using www. so subdomains are supported automatically.

  4. Enter your server’s IP address (you can find this in your hosting dashboard or DNS settings).

Step 2: Update DNS records

  1. Click View DNS records in FlyingCDN.

  2. You'll see two types of records:

    • Add: A new CNAME record for issuing wildcard SSL.

    • Update: Point your root domain’s A record to the IP provided by FlyingCDN.

  3. If you're using a provider like Cloudflare, disable the proxy if possible for best performance.

  4. Add a CNAME for subdomains (like www) pointing to your root domain if needed.

Step 3: Connect FlyingCDN with FlyingPress

  1. Copy your FlyingCDN API key.

  2. In WordPress, go to FlyingPress → CDN.

  3. Paste the API key into the FlyingCDN API Key field.

Step 4: Verify it's working

  1. Open your site in a private/incognito window.

  2. Open DevTools (Inspect → Network tab) and reload the page.

  3. Click the main request and check the response headers.

  4. Look for flyingcdn-cache: HIT — this confirms CDN caching is active.

Optional: Test TTFB (Time to First Byte)

Use a performance test tool like KeyCDN or SpeedVitals to check TTFB from different regions.

Run the test twice — the second load reflects the cached version.
