New: your website now loads faster across Europe with the clixxii CDN
The images and files of your website are now served automatically from a CDN with points across Europe. Your site loads sooner, scores better with Google and handles traffic peaks, without you changing a thing.
From today, the images and files of every clixxii website are served automatically from a CDN with points spread across Europe. There is nothing to switch on and nothing to change on your site: it is already working.
It sounds like a technical detail, but you notice it where it matters most: your website loads fast, Google rates it better, and visitors don't leave before they see it.
What a CDN is, in plain words
A CDN (content delivery network) keeps copies of your photos and files in several places across Europe. When someone opens your website, they get those files from the nearest point instead of waiting for them to travel from a single server.
It's like keeping your stock in several warehouses instead of one: the order arrives sooner because it ships from closer by.
Six benefits of serving your website from a CDN
No setup and no change of domain.
-
Faster loading
Photos and files reach each visitor from the nearest point, so the page appears complete sooner.
-
Better scores in Google
Speed is part of the Core Web Vitals, the metrics Google uses to measure the experience on your website.
-
Snappier on mobile
On mobile data every second counts. Serving images from nearby cuts the wait exactly where it shows most.
-
Handles traffic peaks
When many visitors arrive at once (a campaign, Black Friday, a mention in the press), the load is shared across many points.
-
Fast beyond your country
If you sell to or serve customers in other European countries, your website loads fast for them too.
-
Nothing to do
It's on for every clixxii website. Upload your photos as usual and we take care of the rest.
Why website speed matters so much
A slow website loses customers before they read a word. The longer a page takes to appear, the more people leave without waiting, especially on mobile. Google knows this: among the signals it uses to rank results are the Core Web Vitals, which measure how long the main content takes to show (LCP), how quickly the page responds when tapped (INP) and whether elements jump around while it loads (CLS).
On most small-business websites, the heaviest part is the photos: the big cover image, the gallery, the menu as a PDF. Those are exactly the files that now come from the CDN, so the improvement shows where it counts.
What it means for your business
- A restaurant with a home page full of photos, like Aroma de Mar's new website, shows its dishes before the visitor loses patience.
- A clinic or a workshop taking online bookings gets visitors to the booking button sooner, and that means more appointments.
- A company working in several countries, like JIB Consult with its website in English and Dutch, loads just as fast for clients in the Netherlands or Belgium as in Spain.
- A shop or service in the middle of a campaign: the day you get the most visits is the day you can least afford a slow website.
What you don't have to do
Nothing. There is no option to switch on, no domain to change and no DNS to touch. Your website stays at its usual address; only the place your images and files are sent from changes. Whether you edit your site by talking to Claude or from the dashboard, everything works the same.
How to check your website's speed
Open Google's PageSpeed Insights, paste your website's address and look at the Core Web Vitals. And to see how your visits and contacts evolve over time, you can ask Claude directly.
Speed is one of the things that separate a professional website from one that merely exists. See everything that comes with every website on the features page, or browse examples of websites built with clixxii.
Frequently asked questions about the CDN
Do I need to turn on the CDN for my website?
No. It's already working on every clixxii website. The images and files you upload are served from the CDN automatically.
Does my website's address or my own domain change?
No. Your website stays at the same address. Only the place your photos and files are sent from changes, and you don't need to touch your DNS.
What exactly is a CDN?
A content delivery network: several servers spread across Europe that keep copies of your files and deliver them from the point nearest to each visitor, so your website loads sooner.
Does a faster website rank better on Google?
Speed is one of the signals Google takes into account through the Core Web Vitals. It doesn't replace good content, but a fast website starts with an advantage and keeps more visitors.
How can I measure my website's speed?
With Google's PageSpeed Insights: paste your website's address and check the Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP and CLS). For visits and contacts, use the statistics in the dashboard or ask Claude.
