Alright, enough basic knowledge, let’s find out how to embed a Bunny CDN to LearnPress.
Steps to Embed a Bunny CDN Video on Your LearnPress Website
Before embedding a Bunny CDN Video to LearnPress, you should know about the Storage zone & Pull zone.
Set Up Bunny CDN Storage Zone
Storage Zone or Storage is the section where you can store and manage your static data including images, texts, videos, etc. You can integrate the Storage Zone with Bunny CDN’s content delivery network to deliver it worldwide.
In a storage zone, you can edit the static files, allow API/FTP access, handle errors, manage replication, and connect to Pull zones.
In the left-side menu, you will choose Storage > Add Storage Zone.
Then, you can set the name to the storage zone, select the storage type (Standard or Edge), choose the main storage region (currently 9 places around the world), and set up GEO replication. Click “Add Storage Zone” to finish.
P/S: Remember to check for the total price per month.
Add Pull Zone on Bunny CDN
Pull Zone is born for you to control how your content in storage zones is served to end-users. A pull zone will work as a bridge between the Bunny CDN network and your storage zone or your own server. When you request a file, the Pull zone decides where to draw the content from and how to cache it on the CDN.
By using a Pull zone, you can manage your content across multiple worldwide servers easily, which will improve the page-loading speed & performance of your site. Moreover, the user experience will be improved since they will receive the static files from the nearest edge server instead of your server, reducing waiting time. It will reduce the load and space spent on videos on your server, too.
In the dashboard or the left-side menu, choose Pull Zone > Add Pull Zone. Then, the choices of name, origin type, origin URL, host header, and tiers, are all yours!
