Faster loading for TYPO3, but how?
Short loading and waiting times are increasingly important on the web. For visitors as well as search engines, it matters that your TYPO3 website loads and displays quickly. How can you achieve that so your users don’t have to wait long? We have the solution!
What to expect in this article
TYPO3 caching
With caching, the dynamically generated pages of a TYPO3 website are created once and served to visitors as a static variant. The advantage: each page doesn’t have to be regenerated over and over. Caching has been a core element of TYPO3 for several versions and normally doesn’t need to be specially activated.
TYPO3 CDN
With TYPO3 caching, your website already achieves very good load times. For large portals and elaborate websites, however, that may not be enough. Here we reach for a further optimisation option: using a CDN.
What is a CDN?
CDN stands for content delivery network and means that a website’s content is served via other web servers. There are many large providers, for example Cloudflare or AWS CDN – offering CDN as a service. The advantage is that a well-developed CDN network has servers available in many parts of the world, so optimal speeds for delivering content are always achieved.
Optimising TYPO3 speed with a CDN
Configuring a CDN for your website is very simple. For TYPO3, extensions exist for many popular content delivery networks that can be installed. Once a CDN extension is activated, your website’s load times are reduced dramatically — compared to caching alone, your website gets another significant performance boost.
