Troubleshooting
Common responses and fixes
Most issues come down to one of three things: the hostname isn’t active, the origin path doesn’t resolve, or the cache is holding an old copy.
A CDN URL returns “not found”
The hostname serves only when the site is verified and the plan is active. Check:
- The site is verified in the dashboard. Verification can lapse if the DNS record or verification file is removed, or the domain changes hands — re-run the check.
- The workspace’s trial or subscription is active. When trial credit runs out, cached images keep serving through a grace period while new optimizations are refused; after it the hostname stops serving until you choose a plan.
- The path is spelled exactly as it is at your origin (paths are case-sensitive).
The image is broken or errors on first load
The first request pulls the original from your origin. If that pull fails, the image can’t be served. Check:
- The original loads directly from your origin at the same path over the public internet.
- Your origin isn’t blocking the fetch (for example an allowlist or firewall that rejects server-side requests).
- The URL points at a supported image format — JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or GIF. Non-image responses are not optimized, and SVG is deliberately not served through the CDN.
I updated the image but still see the old one
That’s the cache doing its job. If you replaced the image at the same path, purge it — the next request re-pulls the new version. Remember your browser may cache it too; hard-refresh to confirm.
My resize parameter seems to be ignored
wandhround up to your site’s configured width list — a value between two allowed widths is served at the next size up (and capped at the largest). Images are never enlarged past the original. See URL parameters.dprmust be1,2, or3;fitmust becover,contain, orinside. Anything else falls back to the default.- There is no
qualityURL parameter — quality is a per-site setting.
What the response status means
Errors from the image engine carry a machine-readable x-cdnmn-error header naming the exact reason. One exception: a hostname that isn’t active (unknown, still pending, or suspended) is refused directly at the edge with a bare 404 and no header — if the header is missing on a 404, check the hostname’s status in the dashboard first.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
402 | New optimizations are paused (credit used up or over the plan limit). Cached images keep serving. |
404 | The hostname isn’t active, or the origin has no image at that path. |
415 | The origin response isn’t a supported image format (see above). |
422 | The image is too large to process, or the transform failed. |
502 | The origin couldn’t be reached or answered with an error. |
504 | The origin took too long to respond. |
Still stuck?
Email support@cdn.mn with the exact CDN URL, what you expected, and the x-cdnmn-error header value if there is one — that’s the fastest way for us to help.
