Global CDN
Global CDN is a feature available for all stape sGTM containers and is free to use. It utilizes the Cloudflare platform to load js files (gtm.js, gtag.js, analytics.js, etc.) from a server that is in closer proximity to your site visitors, resulting in a faster js file serving.
It leads to a better page speed and, in the end, has a positive effect on SEO optimization.
Consider your country's privacy regulations before enabling CDN.
To enable Global CDN:
- Go to sGTM container settings and scroll down to Domains.
- Choose: Use Stape Global CDN.
- Add CNAME record that you'll see in the container settings.
As you may have noticed we've got three options regarding CDN:
- you can use Stape Global CDN and we'll use the Cloudflare platform to load js files from a server that is closer to your site visitors.
- you can use CDN on your own domains, which will mean that you are responsible for your CDN setting on domains. Stape will only verify that requests go through correctly.
- you can choose not to use CDN.
