Why does K2 have to load CloudFlare's CDN files? Front-end or background must be loaded!

This is acceptable if it is optional, but I can not change settings from the site's control panel.

I come from China, when we use K2, because of the need to load these CDNs, causing K2 to run very slowly ...

I know using CDN is to some extent to speed up loading, but for some areas may be the opposite.

If I use K2 for my intranet article content system, the website will not be available without Internet access.

Hope later updated version, at least to switch localhost load, so that can can meet the needs of different situations

thank you very much

Hello there,

We were not aware of this isn't CloudFlare available in China?
www.cloudflare.com/network/china/

Hello,

If the site is located somewhere in the world and is not accessible or slow to users in China, using CloudFlare CDN may allow it to access or speed up access.

However, if the website itself is set up in China, the user access in China is extremely fast. After using CloudFlare CDN, the access speed to users in China is seriously affected.

I think such a problem, not only in China, but also in other parts of the user may also be affected.

If you can use the local server files, why must be use CDN?

I hope K2 will be able to handle more usage scenarios and needs, more people love and use.

Thank you.

Hello,

2.8.1 Will be released shortly. We will try to include an option.

Hello,

Well done, thank you for your work!

In this case, it takes only tens of milliseconds for my website to load a local file, and it takes more than a minute to load a CDN file, which greatly affects the work.

I always believe that the CDN can only speed up the network in certain circumstances, but it is not a panacea, and in some cases it will have counterproductive effects. K2 should be open. It should be possible to choose whether or not to load CDN files, rather than generalize.

Thank you for letting us know.
You can track the progress of the feature request here github.com/getk2/k2/issues/447

Hello,

when 2.8.1 is ready? Is there an option to deactivate Cloudflare?

Hello,

Unfortunately 2.8.1 is not ready yet.
You can try a 'hack' for the time being and change the links that point to CloudFlare to your local files in this file github.com/getk2/k2/blob/master/administrator/components/com_k2/helpers/html.php#L105

Hello,

currently the version 2.9.0 is stable.
Is there in meantime an option to deactivate CDN loads or do I have further to modify core files?

According our GDPR we really need such an option to disable complete CDN loads.

Please insert such an option so we don´t need to change manually core files which gets overwritten on each update...

Hello,
I think it would be also a great feature if your users have the ability to decide if they want to use CDN.
Such a features should not explode your development ressources I think...

If K2 does not use CDN, it will increase the size of the installation package to unacceptable. Then, if you can develop another plug-in, you can provide file loading localization function independently.
Even if this plugin is a fee, I can accept it, this is at least a solution.
Otherwise I can only manually hack the K2 core file.

Yes, I am very happy to see an improvement in this issue.
But there is still a need to not use CDN at all. For example, I need to develop a website used in the LAN for information management, user management and other functions.
Not using a CDN can make the problem much simpler.
If the website must load the CND file, then
1. When developing a website, you must connect to the Internet, otherwise you will not be able to develop.
2. When using the website system, the website users must also connect to the Internet, and cannot use it directly on the local area network.

Although for many people, the Internet is ubiquitous, it does not necessarily exist for everyone or all projects. I hope that K2 can satisfy more usage scenarios, so I have been paying attention to this issue.

Thank you.
