The BunnyCDN deployment add-on deploys your static site files to a BunnyCDN StorageZone and purges cache from the connected Pull Zone. The BunnyCDN Storage API is used to transfer files, currently limited via the API to 1 file at a time. WP2Static’s internal deploy cache is used to only transfer files changed between deploys.
A BunnyCDN Storage Zone allows files to be stored on BunnyCDN’s servers vs pulling from an origin server. A BunnyCDN Pull Zone sits in front of this Storage Zone, allowing static site hosting to work by routing requests to your custom domain to be served by files in the Storage Zone.
BunnyCDN takes care of distributing your static site across all it’s geographic regions for fastest load speeds to all your site’s visitors.
You can further optimize your site’s delivery using the Pull Zone settings available via BunnyCDN’s web UI, such as cache expiration times, number of datacentres, disabling cookies, image optimization, CSS/JS minification and more. Some of these options incur additional costs.
As we need the Account API Key to purge cache, we reduce the amount of options required for this add-on and use the API to find the Storage Zone Access Key when making requests to the Storage Zone API. Similarily, we detect the Storage Zone’s connected Pull Zone ID from the API. This just adds an extra API call behind the scenes vs requiring the user to input additional fields, like in the V6 BunnyCDN deployment option.
There are only a few options you need to set in the plugin.
In WP2Static’s core “Options” menu (or via WP-CLI), set the Destination URL value to the final URL you plan to host your site on (ie, https://example.com.
In WP2Static’s BunnyCDN options, you’ll set the following:
Requirements for using this add-on with BunnyCDN:
Save this in WP2Static > BunnyCDN > Account API Key
In your BunnyCDN dashboard, navigate to Storage Zones and create one.
Save the Storage Zone’s name in WP2Static > BunnyCDN > Storage Zone Name
Connect a new Pull Zone to your Storage Zone within BunnyCDN. From within your Storage Zone settings, choose “Connect Pull Zone”
You’re all setup! You can now deploy your site as usual via WP2Static (optionally clearing caches if you’ve previously done any deploys)
After deploying, the custom hostname you used with the BunnyCDN Pull Zone should now show a static version of yoor WordPress site:
To help me develop this add-on and troubleshoot when things go wrong, I’ve added the following WP-CLI commands to the BunnyCDN add-on:
wp wp2static bunnycdn storage_zone_files list print out all filenames in the Storage Zone (this currently only prints items in the root directory, but the delete command below will delete all files recursivelywp wp2static bunnycdn storage_zone_files count get total number of filenames in the Storage Zonewp wp2static bunnycdn storage_zone_files delete delete all filenames in the Storage Zone (omitting --force will prompt for confirmation)# lists contents of Storage Zone
curl --include \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "AccessKey: STORAGE_ZONE_API_KEY" \
'https://storage.bunnycdn.com/STORAGE_ZONE_NAME/'
BunnyCDN is a great CDN option, having a small, responsive and friendly team in Slovenia and offering edge locations where other providers don’t. Their web UI is quite easy to use. The Storage Zone API is unfortunately a bit lacking in ability to bulk upload files.
