can a cdn module be created that serves static content from a cdn
like maxcdn as an example, that uses a pull zone for static content, and a vod zone for streaming media
and uses a custom url for each like static.youursite and streaming.yoursite
then once you create the zones set the cnames for the cdn urls the module autoreplaces all urls for static and streamming content to the cdn


or is there an easy way to impliment a cdn without creating a module for it

Thought the whole purpose of a CDN was to catch the possibility of the user having already having a cached version of it on their browser so it didn't need to be loaded again.

If you cache it then deliver it I would have thought that would defeat the purpose of the CDN.

If you wanted a local copy of whatever you could download it, store it locally and change the links to it.

A module to save the CDN to a local URL does not currently exist.

well a cdn would serve a cached version of any static files from the closest location
wich would speed up 1st view loads as well, and every website speed test gives a "efective use of cdn" grade
yslow and pagespeed also adjust the ranking grades based on efective use of a cdn for all static content

ive tried cloudflare in the past on ning and it caused issues but might try it on jr
since its free and all it requires is a dns zone change
