Without the CDN
Every joining player downloads every file from your server's own upload.
Asset CDN for FiveM servers.
Players download your resources from the edge, not from your server's upload. Your server sends each file once; restarts and busy evenings stop costing you bandwidth and CPU.

Your server sends each file once. Players download from Cloudflare's edge instead of from your server's upload.
With the CDN
Our fill node pulls each file from your server once, and players download from Cloudflare's edge.
A diagram of where the bytes come from, not a measurement.
What happens to one file. The same four steps for every file of every resource.
Step 1: A player joins
Your server hands the player its usual list of resource files, pointed at your private CDN address instead of your own port.
The file list goes to the player, pointed at the CDN
Step 2: The first request pulls once
A file nobody has asked for yet is fetched from your server one time by our fill nodes and stored. Twenty players arriving together still cost you one upload, not twenty.
One pull from your server for each file
Step 3: Everyone else downloads from the edge
After that, players download from the Cloudflare location nearest them. Your server's upload and CPU go back to running the game.
Later downloads come from the edge
Step 4: You update a resource
Files are cached per version of each resource, so an updated resource is simply a fresh copy. There is nothing to purge and no stale version to chase.
A new version is a fresh copy, pulled once
Why server owners turn it on. Restart crowds meet the edge instead of your server.
Restarts stop hurting
A restart sends every player back through the download phase at the same moment. That crowd hits the CDN instead of your server.
Your protection stays tight
Only our own fill nodes fetch files from your server, so nothing in your firewall has to be opened to a public network.
Your files stay yours
Each server gets its own private base URL, so a resource named like everyone else's, chat or qb-core, never collides with another server's copy.
Reversible
Remove the lines from server.cfg and restart, and you are back to serving downloads yourself.
See what it served. Files stored, requests answered and the resources players download most.
The panel shows how many files are stored, how many requests the edge answered, how much came from your server, and which resources players download most. The figures here are an example.
Asset CDN in the panel
One view per server: what is stored, what the edge served, and what it still pulled from you.
- Files stored
- 4,312

- 1.2M
- From the edge
- 96%
- Pulled from your server
- 4,380
| Resource | Files | Served |

Two ways to use it. Included on a Clouduxe server, and one flat monthly price per server anywhere else.
On a Clouduxe server
Included
Any Clouduxe VPS, VDS or bare metal server running FiveM can use it at no extra cost.
- Open your server in the panel and turn on Asset CDN. It needs a FiveM port rule, which the FiveM preset adds.
- Copy the lines the panel shows into server.cfg.
- Restart the server.
# Serve resource downloads from the CDN
fileserver_add ".*" "https://cdn.clouduxe.com/f/<your-token>"On a server hosted elsewhere
₹890$9.49/mo per server, unlimited downloads
For FiveM servers that run anywhere else. Billed monthly, excluding GST.
- Order Asset CDN in the panel and enter your server's address and port.
- Prove it is yours: add the verification line the panel gives you, then press Check.
- Copy the CDN line into server.cfg and restart.
# Only for servers hosted elsewhere: proves the server is yours
sets clouduxe_cdn_verify "<code from the panel>"
# Serve resource downloads from the CDN
fileserver_add ".*" "https://cdn.clouduxe.com/f/<your-token>"The lines as the panel gives them. The token and the verification code are issued per server.
Asset CDN questions
Does the asset CDN cost extra on a Clouduxe server?
No. It is included with any Clouduxe VPS, VDS or bare metal server running FiveM. Turn it on from your server in the panel.
Can I use it if my server is hosted somewhere else?
Yes. Order Asset CDN in the panel for a flat monthly price per server with unlimited downloads, prove the server is yours with one verification line, then add the CDN line to server.cfg.
How do you check the server is mine?
The panel gives you a code to add to server.cfg as a convar. We read it from your server's public info and check it again every day, so nobody can point the CDN at a server they do not run.
Do I have to clear anything when I update a resource?
No. Files are cached per version of each resource, so an updated resource is a fresh copy the CDN has not served before.
Does it change what players download?
No. They get the same files, and the game still checks each one. What changes is where the bytes come from.
What if downloads look stuck after an update?
Tell support. Escrowed resources can leave copies a client will not accept after a restart, and clearing your cache is one action on our side. Turning the CDN off is never the fix we leave you with.
Does it host screenshots and phone photos?
No. The Asset CDN serves your resource files to players while they join. Screenshots, phone photos, video and voice notes go to Media Storage (fxvault Media), a separate product with its own plans, including a free one: see clouduxe.com/media-storage.
Which games does it support?
FiveM, because it uses the download mechanism FiveM itself provides. Other games are not supported.
Let the edge carry the downloads.
Included on Clouduxe servers. For servers elsewhere, one flat price per server with unlimited downloads.
