A CDN will make your website slow

Hi Guys,
I'll tell you about my experience with CDN (Content delivery network)
I tried Cloudfront and Clourflare. The end result my website became much slower. Some images disappeared and some wordpress plugins stopped working.
But the moment I disabled CDN by deactivating W3 Total Cache, my website came back to life.
My setup is nginx+php-fpm. No more Apache. I just added browser cache using this page: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... n-centos-7
I didn't even bother to test, I just went to step 3 direct. and since nginx setup on VestaCP is set co gzip site's contents I didn't bother to change anything. The result is a lightening fast browsing.
One more thing, get rid of Apache, use pure nginx.
