CNAME record for images CDN (images.ctfassets.net)

APIs Images API
1

Hello all,

I’ve noticed that the images on my site are not crawled by Google Image Search. I think the reason is that the images are delivered by the Contentful CDN and therefore they are from another domain.

My idea is to set a CNAME record like e.g. “images.mydomain.com” to “images.ctfassets.net”.
Unfortunately I get a 403 forbidden response when doing so.

Is a CNAME record the commonly-used method to deal with this problem? Or what else could I do?

Thank you very much!

I’ve found out that the problem was something else.
My application is a single page application (Angular) and the Goolge Image Search seems to have problems with indexing images then.

The problem was solved by enabling serve side rendering.

Thank you all!
