When you create your pull zone, you will give it a name. This name will show up in the link that is later created for your website.

example: https://incognitothief-faircamp.b-cdn.net

Name your pull zone something memorable and continue with the setup dialog

Tips and Tricks​

Refreshing your site after making changes​

Whenever you want to deploy changes to your faircamp site, follow these steps:

  1. Delete the contents of your BunnyCDN storage
  2. Upload the new contents of your .faircamp_build folder ( Repeat step 4 ) to BunnyCDN
  3. Purge your CDN

Press purge to purge the cache and load the latest site contents

Why does this work?​

A CDN is like a network of local warehouses for web content; instead of shipping everything from one central location, data is delivered from the closest “warehouse” to you, making websites load faster.

When you "Purge" your CDN, you get rid of all the old contents of your "warehouse" and stock it up with fresh contents
