THE PROBLEM
The client has purchased our CDN service, but somehow he wasn't able to configure it properly on his website. He was facing issues to create CDN resources after that website was not able to run with CDN.
CDN is the service that allows your static content to run from the nearest geolocation, and it helps you to improve your website performance.
OUR SOLUTION
CDN allows your website to load faster at the client end by providing static content like the image from the nearest geo-location.
(1) Create CDN Resources :
Before integrating CDN on your website, you need to create CDN resource. It is a CNAME record that you will need to put inside DNS. It was created by us using our knowledgebase and added the CNAME record to his DNS.
(2) CORS Setting in IIS :
In IIS, the resource was not set up to CORS compliant. We have set an HTTP response header in IIS to fix the Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) solved the issue that prevented sharing web services or resources between sites and edge servers.
(3) Modified Web.config :
Though we don't provide any coding support, our team dug this further and made a few changes in the web config file, which fixed their issue finally.
THE RESULTS
Client had verified his data at his end after completion of all the 3 steps mentioned in solution. He was ok with that and changed the nameserver of his website to point his new VPS. After nameserver migation website was up and running fine.
