This plugin rewrites the host(s) of your static files (JavaScripts, CSS, images etc.) (called Origin) into a CDN (Content Delivery Network) host.
As of April 2026, CDN Rewrites is a WordPress cdn plugin with 10 active installations and a 5/5 rating from 1 reviews. It has been downloaded 5.4K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 2.2+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2009. Last updated 16 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: W3 Total Cache.
After releasing a WordPress plugin called Free CDN, I got a request to create another that supports rewriting hosts for commerical CDNs – those big names like Limelight, Akamai, Velocix, EdgeCast etc.
Basically, this plugin allows a WordPress user to specify two important variables: an orgin host (says http://www.yoursite.com) and a “destination host” (like http://www.static.yoursite.com). It will then find all the static contents from that orgin host and rewrite them into the destination so that they will be delivered from there.
