Sorry about lack of updates on this site. This is something that I’ve done last week — trying out CacheFly, the Content Delivery Network, to host some of my static files.

What is Content Delivery Network, and Why?

Why Content Delivery Network (CDN)? In layman’s term, it makes your website appears faster to your visitors with minimum change on your site. There are many reasons why a website appears to be slow. It could be a slow server that takes ages to generate that dynamic page. It could be a slow network or throttling on server’s outbound port. Or it might just be the connectivity between the server and its visitors. When you have high latency due to geographical separation, and have many Javascript, CSS or other media files on the page — a slow link between your visitor and your server can really slow down the website.
