WordPress.com support for non-cloudflare CDNs?
-
We have a client that has an existing website that uses AWS Cloudfront. They’d like to add a blog and considering wordpress.com but it’s unclear if it’s supported.
Are there any problems using wordpress.com behind an AWS Cloudfront distribution?
In the past, my personal experiences have been mixed but I see support for Cloudflare was added, so maybe third-party CDNs are officially supported now?

WordPress.com is a fully hosted service, so if you have a blog with us, it will be hosted here and not on AWS.
If you’d like to host the blog elsewhere, you’ll use the WordPress software from https://wordpress.org
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
If you would like to host the blog with us, one thing you could do is apply a subdomain to it here, like
blog.example.comso it will be hosted here instead of AWS, but essentially tied to the same domain: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-subdomain/ -
Hey staff-blorbo. Sorry for the confusion — I’m aware of this distinction between com/org and that wordpress.com hosts the site on their cdn.
My client has their own existing website and would like a new blog to show up at http://www.example.com/blog, which is currently using AWS/Cloudfront.
There isn’t an issue setting things up this way, but my concern is that the wordpress.com CDN will block this type of setup or otherwise break it at some point in the future.
It seems like the answer is it’s not supported and the recommendation is to use a subdomain instead.
