Hi,  
I am working on a project and looking into using a CDN to serve assets. Am I correct in thinking that the CDN is meant to point directly at the domain of the website and then requests for assets are routed through the CDN, but are still ultimately retrieved from the same brXM repository as before?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,  
Yes that’s the idea.  
See [here](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/concepts/request-handling/serving-from-a-cdn.html) how to configure the Bloomreach side.

Regards, Jeroen
