Wordpress, where is the best place to store photos?

Question

CDN

Tell me, where is it better to store photos, on a hosting or use a CDN plugin and store them on another service?

Answer 1

Everything depends on the situation. It makes sense to have a CDN if your project is really designed for users from all over the world, otherwise you only increase the loading time of the site as a whole (and then there is still a controversial point, for example, a hosted site on a server in Moscow will still load faster in London taking into account ping, if it works through CDN). Now multiplexing is available in all browsers, CDN is an ancient (today) technology that tried to speed up downloads in the days of the old protocol, today it only worsens performance (including the priority file download algorithm). Therefore, all these modern articles from the guru "Disco 90s" only lead to a deterioration in the site. This also applies to sprites, file aggregators, etc.
