Cloud integration, such as nameserver or Cloudflare integration, is essential for optimal performance when utilizing Ezoic Leap. Without cloud integration, many of Leap's features and the benefits of the Ezoic plugin will not be accessible. Ezoic Cloud integration is necessary to make your site Core Web Vitals friendly and to enable effective ad serving. Additionally, Ezoic Cloud provides several security features such as Closed Guard DDOS protection, Ezoic Edge server-side delivery, and Intelliprotect, which guards against click fraud, ad penalties, and bot activities.
For WordPress users, it is advised to install the Ezoic WordPress plugin regardless of your chosen integration method, as our Wordpress plugin has a wide range of uses outside of plugin integration, which is more limited compared to cloud integration. The plugin helps Leap detect the technologies being used on your site, such as plugins and themes. This detection enables Leap to analyze their impact on your site's performance and offer recommendations for improvements. For example, the Leap toolset in the Ezoic dashboard provides detailed analyses and can suggest alternatives to slow-performing technologies.
The Ezoic plugin also includes options for using Ezoic's CDN and caching. Caching speeds up site delivery by storing site data on Ezoic servers, reducing the need for external requests to the origin server. The plugin can also automate cache purging, making it easier to update your site while maintaining optimal performance. Using Ezoic CDN and caching ensures that your site's content is delivered quickly to users worldwide, enhancing overall performance and user experience.
