To enable the AccelerateWP CDN via CLI, you'll generally need to perform the following steps. This process will typically involve interacting with your server's terminal, using a command-line interface (CLI), and possibly a few web configuration tools or API endpoints that AccelerateWP provides.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to enable AccelerateWP CDN via CLI:

Ensure that AccelerateWP Plugin is Installed

First, you need to ensure that the AccelerateWP plugin is installed and activated on your WordPress instance. You can install it via WP-CLI or manually.

• Installing via WP-CLI (if not already installed):

wp plugin install acceleratewp --activate

Get Your AccelerateWP API Key

To use the CDN feature of AccelerateWP, you need an API key from AccelerateWP. If you haven't already obtained one, follow these steps:

• Log into your AccelerateWP account.
• Navigate to the API section of the account settings and generate a new API key.

You'll use this key to authenticate the connection between your website and the CDN.

Set up Your API Key

Using WP-CLI, you can set the API key for AccelerateWP. This step is crucial for allowing the plugin to communicate with AccelerateWP's servers to enable CDN.

• Set the API Key via CLI:

wp option update acceleratewp_api_key 'your-api-key-here'

Enable CDN via CLI

Now that the plugin is installed and your API key is set up, you can enable the CDN service.

You’ll likely need to interact with the plugin’s settings, either by using the provided WP-CLI commands for the plugin (if available) or using the settings API directly.

• Enable CDN (using WP-CLI):

wp acceleratewp cdn enable

If this specific command doesn’t exist in the WP-CLI commands list, you might have to set the option directly:

wp option update acceleratewp_cdn_enabled true

Verify CDN Is Active

After enabling the CDN, verify that it is properly active by checking the plugin's status:

• Check CDN status via CLI:

wp acceleratewp cdn status

If the plugin doesn’t provide a specific command for this, you can check the CDN functionality on your website by inspecting network requests or checking the response headers to see if they include any CDN-related headers.

Purge CDN Cache

If you need to purge the cache after enabling the CDN, you can use the following CLI command:

• Purge Cache via CLI:

wp acceleratewp cdn purge

Check the CDN Configuration

Once the CDN is enabled, you may want to verify or configure other settings (like the URL, caching rules, or custom domain). Depending on the plugin's capabilities, there might be additional WP-CLI commands for this:

• Check the CDN Configuration:

wp acceleratewp cdn config

If that command doesn't exist, you'll need to check via the plugin's dashboard or look at its settings in the database.

Test the CDN Implementation

After enabling and configuring the CDN, it’s important to test the CDN functionality. To do this:

• Test loading your site and check if assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript are being served via the CDN.
• You can also use tools like GTMetrix or Pingdom to check if your content is served from the CDN’s edge servers.

Additional Notes

• If AccelerateWP provides its own CLI interface (for example, wp acceleratewp commands), you may want to refer to the plugin’s official documentation for more specific commands.
• Always ensure that the CDN setup does not conflict with other caching mechanisms or CDN services that may already be active on your website.
