can someone recommend a good CDN for Europe? A trial version would be perfect just to ensure that everything is working perfectly and it's fast enough for my needs. I am using more than 5 years CF (the free version) but i would like to test another. Please post your experience for the specific CDN you propose.
Thank you.

it possibly speeds up first page delivery but after that it only slows down.

That would it be in a normal theme but when using journal i think cdn is a must.
Time to First Byte (TTFB) what causes high ms?

TTFB is determined by:Time to First Byte (TTFB) what causes high ms?
1) network latency
2) time for your server to generate and send back the page, including physical server, webserver, php processing, database, etc.
A cdn will help with getting your static assets like external css,js,images faster but only on first page load as after that the browser has those cached already, then again, journal puts most of its css inline so that is not cached anywhere.
A cdn will help with a CMS which pages are highly cachable unlike an ecommerce site.
A cdn will help with getting your digital products for download to the clients faster.
A cdn will not cache your dynamic html and as such will not speed up your TTFB, it will only slow down as the cdn acts as a mere proxy for dynamic content and as such adds an additional network hop latency to the time. That goes for all pages not just the first.
So improve point 2 as that is the only thing under your control.

if just hundreds of, then there is not need to use a CDN.

It is great for geo-caching your static assets like fonts/css/js/images even static html and as such deliver them faster when requested (on first request only that is).
But the browser will only request them after it is has your dynamic html which contains those references (unless you use http/2 asset push) and that is after your TTFB has elapsed. Only ways to reduce TTFB is optimize your site or page cache your dynamic html and the latter is not an option for 99% of your OC pages.
number of products does have a bearing on your database performance if you have not optimized that.

What about theme bigshop?letxobnav wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 8:08 amnumber of products has no bearing on the decision to use cdn or not. cdn is an external geo-optimized cache, not an website optimization tool.

Do you have any in mind, but please just don't tell me to start with default opencart it is too too simple.
Thank you for your time to reply.
Almost any theme other than Journal3 looks better. You can quickly see the ugly and bloated look&feel of a Journal3 site.What about theme bigshop?

The argument that a theme can be too simple is somewhat strange. Any complicated look&feel of a web theme will deter users.
A theme needs a clean and easy to navigate interface where the end user can come quickly to the wanted page or product. Bigshop looks better than Journal, and is way easier to manage judging by its admin demo.
If you can, try to stay away from the Themeforest or Envato Market sites, these sites are a bit dodgy, I know of past examples how they sometimes sell stolen software items.
