      Hi, Can we validate a CDN like Max in Webmasters?

      We have images hosted in CDN and they dont get indexed in Google images. Its been a year now and no luck. Maxcdn says they have no issues at there end and images have ALT and they are original images with no copyright issues

        You can't get their domain validated in your Google Search Console account (unless they add you as a user to their account), however there is a workaround more or less described here: Getting CDN images indexed with Google


        In short:
        If your image is for example on https://12345.maxcdn.com/images/directory/subdirectory/image-filename.jpg

        You can add a CNAME (alternate domain name) to make the URLs formatted like this: http://images.yourdomain.com/images/directory/subdirectory/image-filename.jpg

        After that you can add "images.yourdomain.com" as a verified domain in Google Search Console and treat it as a new subdomain, incl. sitemaps etc.

        Hope this helps
