See [this article](/en/tutorial/activating-new-vtex-cdn) for how to perform this migration.\n\nThere are no risks or drawbacks to switching to the new model.\n\nThe main requirement for migrating is that your site is fully available on HTTPS, which helps secure traffic to your store and improves your site's ranking in organic searches. To do this, follow the steps in the article [Enable HTTPS throughout the site](/en/docs/tutorials/enable-https-throughout-the-site)."}
