Full site CDN acceleration for Discourse

[Hyan]

At present days 2023, does the below four rules still needed to follow strictly? For example, if I were to use Akamai, which is designed to make the main domain name with its CDN accelerating. Does any one has a distilled configuration of below rules, such as should message bus and long polling still need to request to origin? Where these settings should go? long polling base url seems is removed from admin dashboard?

1. The “message bus” must be served from the origin.
2. You need to set up X-Forwarded-For trust. For Cloudflare, add cloudflare.template.yml to your app.yml file.
3. Be extra careful with techniques that apply optimisation to the site, stuff like Rocket Loader can stop Discourse from working. Discourse is already heavily optimised, this is not needed.

To serve “long polling ” requests from a different domain, set the Site Setting long polling base url to the origin server.

For example, if your site is on “http://forum.example.com ” you should set up http://forum-direct.example.com/ to plug into the site setting. If you don’t your site will be broken.
