Custom Domain (CNAME + SSL)
This guide assumes that you have already created a Gumlet source. If you are setting up the Gumlet for the first time, please follow this guide to create a Gumlet source.
Once a source is created, please follow these steps to add a custom domain:
Go to the "CDN & Custom Domain" section on the edit source page.
Select "Gumlet CDN" in the CDN Type field.
Enter your desired domain in the "Custom Domains" section.
Save the changes
Require custom domain with CloudFront CDN?
Custom domains with CloudFront CDN are only supported for Business plan users. Please contact our support chat or email for the same.
Create the following CNAME record to start using your custom domain. Please replace images.example.com with your own domain. If your gumlet source is example.gumlet.net then add the following CNAME record.
images.example.com CNAME example.gumlet.net
That's it! Your custom domain will now be live with a valid SSL certificate. Open your custom domain in a new tab to validate the setup.
Update your Gumlet (JavaScript or WordPress) plugins to change how the images are served. Please use the new custom domain (images.example.com) in your Gumlet integration instead of the old Gumlet subdomain (example.gumlet.net).
The site may appear slow when you switch to the new domain. It would take a few minutes to build up the cache. Images will be super fast after a few page loads.
All paid plans (Pro, Appsumo, Business & Enterprise) support custom domain. Each custom domain for Gumlet CDN costs $5 / month extra. Check your plan details on the billing panel to see if you have any free custom domains.
