Shopware CDN Integration

Updated on January 6, 2023

The Shopware ecommerce system started in 2004 in Germany as a modular CMS. There is both an open source as well as a commercial version available. More than 1,700 plugins are available for Shopware and about 50 interfaces ensure compatibility with other systems and tools. Shopware is based on PHP as well as MySQL and is related to the Zend Framework.

This tutorial will explain in further detail how to complete a Shopware CDN integration with KeyCDN.

How to complete a Shopware CDN integration

Create a Pull Zone before you start with the Shopware CDN integration.

Open config.php of your Shopware setup:

Go to the following section:

define('...
    'password' => '*******',
        'dbname' => 'dbname',
      ),
    'cdn' => [
        'backend' => 'local',
        'adapters' => [
            'local' => [
                'type' => 'local',
                'mediaUrl' => 'http://cdn.yourdomain.com/',
                'path' => realpath(__DIR__ . '/')
            ]
        ]
    ],
');

Update the following variables:
- mediaUrl: Either use a Zone Alias or the Zone URL you get in the KeyCDN dashboard.
- path: Adjust the path according to your setup. In most cases it's the path as shown above in the snippet.

Verify the setup. Check the HTML to make sure the assets have been rewritten correctly. The KeyCDN Tools Website Speed Test lets you easily check if the assets are loaded from the correct domain, as well as examine web performance in more detail.

That's it! You're done with the Shopware CDN integration.
