Use CDN without WordPress plugin
I want to use BunnyCDN on my website, but I do not want to use any plugin.
I tried CDN enabler and BunnyCDN plugin, but both slow down the website.
Without plugin
First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint(LCP) < 2s
Cumulative Layout Shift(CLS) ~0s second on mobile, score 80-85
First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint(LCP) < 0.5s
Cumulative Layout Shift(CLS) ~0s second on desktop, score 99-100
With plugin
First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint(LCP): 2.6-3s
Cumulative Layout Shift(CLS) ~0.05s second on mobile, score 65-75
First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint(LCP): 0.6-0.8s
Cumulative Layout Shift(CLS) ~0.05s second on desktop, score 95-99
Google gives me just one link from 2011 which does not work for all static content. Has anyone implemented any CDN without plugin? Any hint would really be great help.

Never seen that CDN module is slowdown website, have you tried to optimise your WordPress? The way I managed to do without any module using .htaccess all images and css/JavaScript requests can be deducted to cdn.domain.name (so via CNAME will served via CDN)
LiteSpeed & QUIC.cloud for the win.
You can use just one plug-in "WP Rocket" which can handle everything from cache to optimization
It can even integrate with BunnyCDN
So there's no need to install the CDN plug-in separately
Cloudflare PRO with static caching? I didn't measure ms but it does what it's supposed to do.
Akamai/Fastly does similar but the onboarding process is PITA.
I tested Cloudflare Pro and WordPress APO.
TL/DR:
Cloudflare free + LiteSpeed free beats it, on average.
If using the BunnyCDN plugin slows down your website you need to host it somewhere else, or something else is going on in your WP installation. Its probably the most lightweight WP plugin that exists
CDN Enabler and BunnyCDN work great together. If don't want to use any third party plugin you can serve entire site via Cloudfront. I'm using the same setup(Whole site via Cloudfront) and the performance is remarkable!
first try to enable opcache, apcu, docket cache and object cache on your wordpress. this can be done without plugins too. then just use bunnycdn or any cdn of your choice, you'll feel the difference. if you are on litespeed, no need to install lscache, just use their 4 lines of .htaccess code to enable lscache on the server = more speed.
The impact is in ms, not noticeable by humans. But Google can certainly notice that.
I have enabled opcache, apcu on the server.
Use BunnyDNS, it'll proxy the site similarly to Cloudflare and you won't have to use a plugin in that instance.
Did not know this. I am using BunnyDNS. Let me try it.
What's the easiest way to enable opcache, apcu, docket cache and object cache?
Your site must be full of plugins. Why does CDN needs a plugin? As you can use it without a plugin.
To rewrite urls to cdn url ? If your cdn is full site delivery / proxified like Cloudflare, yes you don't need a plugin for that.
Share the code please!
If you don't want hassle, then use BunnyDNS, and activate Bunny Proxy (just like Proxied Cloudflare).
