How to make CDN or a way to speed up website loading


I have a server from hostgator, the server is located in America and it gives 30ms to America region but outside that it gives 200 above ms and loads the site 10x slower than it loads in America, I was wondering if there's a way I can speed the loading, I heard something about CDN but not sure how that works, but what I something in my mind but I don't know how I can accomplish it, basically, I was thinking of getting a VPS from another region, for instance, lets say Australia, then can I make that a rally point or something with which if the users are from near that region it loads the site through that VPS but fast.

I'm open to new stuff. My site uses WordPress and gets lots of traffic, so if it's a VPS then what config is better.


Solution

  • Have you considered using an actual CDN? The prices are cheaper than you think and will probably cost you less than spinning up multiple VPS's in other regions.

    I use Rackspace CDN on my blog and it is really affordable (I pay less than a dollar a month) and I get coverage worldwide. Plus a CDN is configured to deliver assets as quickly as possible!

    There are quite a few other CDNs out there and all are really competitively priced:
