Issues on integration of additional CDN in front of Hubspot CMS

EOrlov — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 15:26:12 GMT

We deal with HubDB queries, which aren't supported by Hubspot's own prerendering service and experience huge performance bottleneck.

We want to integrate a third party prerenderings service with Cloudflare/Cloudfront,

What are issues on implementation of an additional CDN in front of Hubspot CMS?

Hey @EOrlov HubSpot's CDN is cloudflare, so I would imagine it would be somewhat redundant to add cloudflare in front of it.

I'm not hugely familiar with the prerendering systems, but if you add a CDN in front of HubSpot's CDN would you not end up doubling up on load times and ultimately still have to call on the HubSpot CDN for the content?

External prerendering will process certain set of dynamic pages, where some queries are uncached/non-prerendered by HS own engine, so I see in this point no redundancy and no performance issues. These page have TTFB >2,5 seconds - it couldn't be worser, and HS has no solutions for this at all.

I'm rather interesting in general known issues with external CDNs.
