How To Activate LiteSpeed CDN (QUIC.cloud)

If you want superior performance for your WordPress sites, we highly recommend activating LiteSpeed CDN with QUIC.cloud.

We are a LiteSpeed QUIC.cloud partner, and after testing multiple CDNs, we have found that LiteSpeed CDN delivers the best results when combined with LiteSpeed Enterprise and LS Cache.

Please note: activating QUIC.cloud requires pointing your domain’s nameservers to the ones provided by the CDN. Only follow this guide if you have access to your (or your client’s) domain nameservers and you are not using a third party to manage your DNS.

Prefer us to handle it? WP Buzz support can install QUIC.cloud for you as a standard service, just get in touch.

Note: if you purchased your domain through WP Buzz when we used to offer domains, QUIC.cloud was already activated on your behalf and your SSL is installed. You do not need this guide.

Before you start: you need an SSL certificate installed on your site before you can activate the CDN. If you have not done that yet, follow How To Install SSL On Your WordPress Site first, then come back here.

Please watch this video carefully to ensure a stable activation:

Written instructions below.

Step 1: Update nameservers

First, update your domain’s nameservers at your domain registrar to:

ns1.wpbuzz.io
ns2.wpbuzz.io

This step is important, especially if you are also using our free email service. Once the nameservers have propagated (this may take a few minutes to a few hours), proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Enable QUIC.cloud

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
  2. Go to LiteSpeed Cache > CDN.
  3. Click Enable QUIC.cloud Services.
  4. Wait a few seconds for QUIC.cloud to detect your server IP.

Step 3: Register your account

  1. Register your account on QUIC.cloud using your email and password.
  • We recommend using the same email you registered with us.
  • If you use a different email, keep a note of it for future reference.
  1. Once registration is complete, QUIC.cloud will automatically import your DNS records.

Step 4: Add DNS zone

  1. In QUIC.cloud, click Add DNS Zone.
  2. QUIC.cloud will generate new nameservers for your domain.
  3. Go back to your domain registrar and update your domain to use the new nameservers provided by QUIC.cloud.

Important: after updating to QUIC.cloud’s nameservers, you may see a nameserver warning inside your hosting control panel. This can be safely ignored, keep your domain pointed to the QUIC.cloud nameservers.

Step 5: SSL activation

Once your domain is connected to QUIC.cloud and the nameservers are updated, an SSL certificate will be installed automatically. It may take a few minutes for the SSL to fully propagate across QUIC.cloud’s load balancers.

Managing DNS records

From this point onward, all DNS management for your domain is handled inside the QUIC.cloud dashboard:

  1. Go to DNS Zones.
  2. Select your domain.
  3. View and manage records as needed.
