CDN - Is it right for my website (2)

---

Hey everyone

Another noob question from me. i have been looking at CDN's recently and was going to test a lander i have created/designed in photoshop and before i actually code my website i wanted to test the clickthrough rate, load speed etc of the website using an image instead, before i actually design them using code. Is it ok to upload my website on a very mediocre host such as hostgator's baby plan, i don't currently have a VPS server. I was curious is there any point using a CDN if i'm uploading my website content to such a mediocre/bad host, will it crash the server if i drive too much traffic to it or will the CDN manage the website so my host will not crash?

condensed questions
1. Will CDN work with one image website(index.html file and a jpeg image)?
2. Is it pointless using a CDN if i don't have the original content on a good server such as a VPS?

My website would literally be just an image with a link to my offer.

All the best!

Yes the CDN will work with your one image "website". And if you're using a CDN to serve cached images, the original host will not affect the load speed. You may want to check the load speed of the image when served from the CDN, to make sure it's fast enough. Also be sure to run that image through an image size optimizer such as http://kraken.io.

Since the image isn't responsive, you may want to make different versions for display on different devices with different screensizes. You can then set some rules in Voluum for example to direct visitors viewing from each device to the correct version.
