CDN Trial

[Shaun]

I've set-up a trial of a content delivery network (CDN) which will hopefully speed up CycleChat for our members and visitors outside of the United Kingdom.

A CDN is a worldwide network of servers that cache a copy of our static files and deliver them locally (to your country) instead of making the round-trip to our UK based server and back again.

I'll poll some of you in a few weeks time to see if it has been of any benefit, and if so, make it permanent.

Cheers,
Shaun

I've moved to a different CDN provider who offers a greater number of POPs (points of presence) - which should speed up delivery to more locations globally, especially the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
