DHV Now using a CDN for some content

[Trekkan]

In short, this allows static content to be served from another host, one with massive power as all it does is host and store content in a cloud. So, things should be a bit faster on the website now... at least that's the idea. =)

Still more things in the works and many bug fixes, but... I'm get'n there. =) Please keep reporting any bugs in the bug tracker (Extras -> Bug Tracker) so I don't forget about them.

Is there a write up on how this tech makes things faster. You gave a good synopsis but we want the nitty gritty.

Here ya go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network

I'm far from an expert with the stuff, I just know the basics about it. =)

Ok, gotcha. It's really an older concept. Akamai has been using it for years to deliver global content to consumers.

Yeah, I deal with Akamai at work all the time. =) The concept has been around for a LONG time, but.... us using it, not so much. =) We'll see how it works out.
