Choose your CDN resource type
There are three types of CDN resources available:- For the entire site. Integrate your entire website with our CDN and Managed DNS products. Best for complete site acceleration with automatic DNS management. Consult our guide on configuring a CDN resource for the entire site.
- For static assets only. Integrate only static content delivery, such as images, CSS, JavaScript, and fonts. Best for websites where you want to accelerate only specific assets. Consult our guide on configuring a CDN resource for static assets only.
- For video streaming. Deliver live streams and video-on-demand content globally. Best for HLS, DASH, or FLV video delivery without transcoding. Consult our guide on configuring a CDN resource for video streaming.
Need transcoding? If you need to transcode raw video inputs (RTMP, SRT) or generate adaptive bitrate ladders automatically, use the Video Streaming platform instead of Video CDN.
