Hostinger CDN<\/a> is working when responses from your website carry the x-hcdn-request-id<\/code> header and static files return x-hcdn-cache-status: HIT<\/code> on repeat requests. The Content Delivery Network (CDN) speeds up delivery of static files, secures connections closer to visitors, and optimizes images; it does not make your website’s own code run faster, so the improvement depends on what your pages are made of.<\/p>

How to check that Hostinger CDN is active<\/h2>
    \n
  1. Go to Hostinger dashboard → Websites → Dashboard → Performance → CDN<\/strong> and confirm the status shows the CDN as enabled.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  2. Open your website in a browser, open the developer tools (F12), and select the Network<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n
  3. Reload the page and click the first request in the list.<\/li>\n
  4. Look for x-hcdn-request-id<\/code> in Response Headers<\/strong>. When it is present, the request was delivered through Hostinger CDN.<\/li>\n
  5. Click an image or CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) file in the list and check x-hcdn-cache-status<\/code>. The first request after a change shows MISS; reload, and the file shows HIT, which means it was served from the CDN edge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    The Analytics<\/strong> tab of the CDN dashboard (click Manage<\/strong>) shows the same information for all visitors: the share of cache hits, misses, and dynamic requests, the distribution of status codes, and the request volume over the selected period.<\/p>
