We are about to launch our e-commerce site built with nopCommerce, but we're struggling with speed -- in some cases, pages take 15-20 seconds to load. We would like to try serving our images with a CDN. We do this for our other websites and it really improves page load times.
What are the best ideas for serving images with CDN in nopCommerce? I see there are several plugins: which is best or easiest to use? We currently subscribe to Adobe Scene 7, so we intend to store our e-commerce images there.

To integrate CDN with nopCommerce using plugin, you need to override picture service! Or you can try nopAccelerate CDN plugin which is completely free and it makes your job easy.
Our lead dev had me do this directly in the PictureService because the nopAccelerate site appeared to be down and there was no trial of the other plugin. We are adding a CDNUrl generic attribute. Then in the controller, we allow the code to get the image like normal, but then if it contains certain text in the file name or a generic attribute that matches the one we specify, we replace the URL with the one from the CDN. It's shaving 2-4 seconds off each of our page loads, so it's turning out to be a pretty good use of our time.
Thanks for the ideas here!
