We used to use MaxCDN on XC4.6, it worked pretty well. Then after upgrading to XC5 I purchased CDN module from CFL systems, and had loads of problems getting that to work right, mostly relating to https mode and some things just not working right. I do not consider these problems to be related to the CFL module per se, I also had so many problems with XC5 itself that I decided to shelf the CDN thing for the time being.

Now that my XC5 is working well, it's time to reconsider using CDN. But now I'm asking myself if I really need it at all or not.

For starters, our site is full, forced https. I found it tricky to get that to work with CDN, I believe you need an SSL certificate specially for the CDN url, correct? Then you need to install that - where, at the CDN company? I tried to get that to work at MaxCDN and never did get it to work right.

I've read that for a full on https site, CDN isn't really all that faster, anyone care to comment?

Our current dedicated server is located on the East Coast USA and the bulk of our customers are from N.American and Europe. Our site is maxed out for speed right now, but I've had customers in Singapore complain about the speed.

So if anyone has any input, advice, about using XC5 with full-time https on a CDN, or could recommend a company, I'm all ears...
