CDN Caching Setup for NetSuite Websites

To ensure optimal performance for your NetSuite websites, it is crucial to enable CDN (Content Delivery Network) caching. CDN caching enhances load times and improves the user experience by reducing the amount of data that needs to be retrieved from the server. Starting in September 2025, CDN caching will be a requirement for all websites associated with NetSuite production accounts, making it imperative to activate this feature in advance to prevent any potential performance issues.

How to Enable CDN Caching

Enabling CDN caching for your website involves a few straightforward steps. Here’s how you can set it up:

1. Navigate to Commerce > Hosting > Domains in your NetSuite dashboard.
2. Click Edit next to the domain name that directs to your main website.
   • Alternatively, access the Domain record via Commerce > Websites > Website List (Administrator), select your domain, go to the Domains tab, and click Edit next to it.
3. In the Domain record, locate the Advanced section and check the Use CDN Cache box.
4. Click Save to implement your changes.

Important Notes

• After enabling CDN caching, data and assets that are reused across your website will be cached for a configurable duration to enhance loading efficiency. For detailed instructions on tweaking CDN caching settings, refer to Configure CDN Caching.
• You can also set up a subdomain to bypass the CDN cache for testing purposes. Learn more by checking Bypass CDN Cache.
