How to setup MaxCDN on X-Cart

How to setup MaxCDN on X-Cart

Synopsis: Having had the opportunity to setup MaxCDN for a number of X-Cart sites we've found this solution to be the most reliable to deliver non-https visitors their content from a CDN.

Setting up a CDN for your medium to large X-Cart site will help improve its loading times across the world by delivering static content from the MaxCDN server located closest to your customer. Google uses site loading times as a factor in search engine ranking so for sites with steady sales and traffic we recommend implementing a CDN like MaxCDN.

Once your CDN has been established, you can integrate x-cart as follows:

Open smarty.php

Find:

$smarty->assign("SkinDir",$xcart_web_dir."/skin1");
$smarty->assign("ImagesDir",$xcart_web_dir."/skin1/images");

Replace with:
(Be sure to replace CdnUrl.example.com with your CDN Url)

// WCM - MaxCDN Implementation
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')
{
$smarty->assign("SkinDir","http://CdnUrl.example.com/skin1");
$smarty->assign("ImagesDir","http://CdnUrl.example.com/skin1/images");
}
else
{
$smarty->assign("SkinDir",$xcart_web_dir."/skin1");
$smarty->assign("ImagesDir",$xcart_web_dir."/skin1/images");
}

Would love to see this updated to include instructions for serving product images through the CDN.

From the get-go, I didn't have to worry about the service being done correctly or on time because they were consistently in touch with me letting me know the status of things. They delivered exactly what we needed and then some.
