Modern websites must load extremely fast to provide a good user experience and improve SEO rankings. One of the most powerful ways to improve performance is by using a Content Delivery Network (CDN).

SHONiR CMS is designed with performance in mind and includes a built-in multiple CDN configuration system. This allows website owners to distribute different types of static files across multiple CDN providers, improving load speed and reducing server load.

This guide explains how to configure and use multiple CDN URLs in SHONiR CMS using phpMyAdmin.

Accessing CDN Configuration in SHONiR CMS

All CDN and resource URLs are stored inside the tbl_config table in the database.

Follow these steps to access the configuration:

1. Login to phpMyAdmin
2. Select your SHONiR CMS database
3. Open the table:

tbl_config

This table contains the following columns:

• config_id
• config_key
• config_value
• config_mode

Finding CDN Related Configuration Keys

To locate the CDN related configuration values:

1. Click the Search tab in phpMyAdmin
2. Search in column config_key
3. Use the operator:

LIKE %url%

You will see the following configuration keys:

assets_url
uploads_url
img_url
base_url
css_url
js_url
cdn_url

Each of these keys controls how SHONiR CMS loads different types of files.

Understanding Each CDN URL Configuration

1. assets_url

This URL is used for static libraries.

Examples include:

• Bootstrap
• jQuery
• Other third-party libraries

These files are stored in:

public/assets

Example CDN usage:

https://cdn.example.com/shonir-cms/public/assets/

2. css_url

This configuration controls all CSS files used by the website theme.

Locations include:

public/css/frontend/default.css
public/css/frontend/{theme_folder}/theme.css

Example CDN URL:

https://cdn.example.com/shonir-cms/public/css/

3. js_url

This URL loads JavaScript files related to the theme.

Files are located in:

public/js/frontend/default.js
public/js/frontend/{theme_folder}/theme.js

Example:

https://cdn.example.com/shonir-cms/public/js/

4. uploads_url

This configuration is used for all files uploaded from the admin panel.

Uploaded files are stored in:

public/uploads

Example:

https://cdn.example.com/shonir-cms/public/uploads/

5. img_url

This URL is used for website images.

It allows images to be served from a dedicated CDN optimized for image delivery.

6. cdn_url

This is the global CDN URL.

It can act as a fallback or general CDN for multiple file types across the system.

Real Example from the SHONiR CMS Demo

The official SHONiR CMS demo already uses multiple CDN services to optimize performance.

Image CDN (Image Optimization)

Images are served using ImageKit CDN.

Example:

https://ik.imagekit.io/stznbxt6o/shonir-cms/public/images/frontend/default/logo.webp

This provides:

• automatic image optimization
• global edge caching
• faster image delivery

Static File CDN

CSS, JS, and other files are delivered through Gcore CDN.

Example:

https://8static.shonir.com/shonir-cms/public/js/frontend/default.js

This improves loading speed for:

• JavaScript
• CSS
• static assets

Supported CDN Providers

SHONiR CMS works with almost any CDN provider.

Popular CDN services include:

• Cloudflare
• Amazon CloudFront
• Microsoft Azure CDN
• KeyCDN
• Fastly
• Google Cloud CDN
• EdgeNext
• Akamai
• CacheFly
• CDNetworks

You can configure different CDN services for different file types.

Why Multiple CDN Architecture Is Powerful

Using multiple CDN endpoints provides several benefits:

Faster Load Times

Files are served from the nearest CDN edge server.

Reduced Server Load

Static resources are offloaded from the main hosting server.

Parallel Resource Loading

Browsers can download resources from different domains simultaneously.

Global Performance

Visitors from different countries receive optimized delivery.

Higher Scalability

Your website can handle very large traffic volumes.

Final Thoughts

The built-in multi-CDN configuration system in SHONiR CMS allows developers and website owners to easily optimize performance without complex server configurations.

By simply updating a few values inside the tbl_config table, you can distribute your static resources across multiple CDN providers and dramatically improve website speed.

This flexible architecture makes SHONiR CMS an excellent choice for building high-performance, scalable websites.
