You can use the built-in Office 365 Content Delivery Network (CDN) to host static assets to provide better performance for your SharePoint Online pages. The Office 365 CDN is composed of multiple CDNs that allow you to host static assets in multiple locations, or origins, and serve them from global high-speed networks.
What CDN does Microsoft use?
Azure CDN
Azure CDN from Microsoft provides Azure customers the ability to deliver content from Microsoft’s own global CDN network.
How do I make my CDN private?
- Cloud or On-Premise? The very first decision you will have to make is whether to deploy your content delivery network using cloud instances or physical machines.
- ISP and Routing.
- Origin Server and PoPs.
- Install Varnish DIY CDN Software.
- Configure Varnish.
How do I know if my CDN is working?
Checking if your CDN is integrated
- The first method to check if your CDN is integrated with your site is to run a site speed test. Choose any location to run it from and then analyze the URLs of your site’s static assets.
- The second way to check if your CDN is integrated is by inspecting the page source of your site.
Is the Office 365 CDN public or private?
Depending on the kind of content you want to host in the Office 365 CDN, you can add public origins, private origins or both. Content in public origins within the Office 365 CDN is accessible anonymously, and can be accessed by anyone who has URLs to hosted assets.
How does the Office 365 content delivery network work?
The Office 365 CDN is designed to optimize performance for users by distributing frequently accessed objects like images and javascript files over a high-speed global network, reducing page load time and providing access to hosted objects as close as possible to the user. The CDN fetches your assets from a location called an origin.
Where are Microsoft 365 assets served on a CDN?
If Microsoft 365 CDN is enabled, it’s used automatically with default settings. If Microsoft 365 CDN isn’t enabled, assets are served from the app catalog site collection. This means that if you leave the includeClientSideAssets setting true, your solution assets are automatically hosted in the tenant.
Which is the origin for the Office 365 CDN?
When such package is deployed to SharePoint, asset files are unpacked and deployed to a specific document library in SharePoint. That library also happens to be configured as an origin for the Office 365 Public CDN.
