Quickstart

Create your first protected site, configure a domain and verify the first request.

Complete this guide in a test environment first, then roll it out to production in stages.
01

Create a site

Open the console and create a site. Enter your business domain, then choose the initial origin region closest to your origin.

  • Enter a primary domain, such as example.com
  • Choose SCDN and an initial region
  • Keep the default smart cache policy
02

Add a domain

Add the primary and subdomains that need acceleration or protection. A CNAME record is generated for each domain.

CONFIG
www.example.com  CNAME  edge.cdnf.net
03

Verify traffic

Once DNS is live, open the domain or use curl. An X-CDNF-Edge response header confirms that traffic reached the edge network.

CONFIG
curl -I https://www.example.com
# X-CDNF-Edge: hkg-03
