How to integrate with CDN in WordPress?
You can install a CDN enabler plugin in WordPress by Keycdn. and enter the CDN URL there in the field of CDN URL.
create a pull zone and enter your website url. then CDN URL will be displayed just copy that paste at your WordPress dashboard relative path.
in automize plugin replace on the CDN base URL //cdn.example.com/.
