Most of them work off the pull method. Basically you set a URL in
the CDN's control panel that is the source. If the file is not in
the CDN, then it will pull from that source url, so:<br>
<br>
main site: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.example.com">http://www.example.com</a> (this would be your source)<br>
cdn: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cdn.example.com">http://cdn.example.com</a><br>
<br>
There are also push CDNs out there, which you got to actually send
the file to, but those are a lot harder to set up.<br>

<div><span>Yes, I am aware of how to enable compression and its

Clearly the site has not enabled those options.<br>

<div><span>I am not, however, fully versed in CDNs. I know they
are theoretically dispersed and allegedly faster (although
my anecdotal experience is different). I don't, for example,
know how the data is supposed to be propagated into the CDN.
Do most just pick up files as they are created? That would
be fabulous and allow me to easily test the speed issue -
assuming I get the job. If I have to physically push the
file out, that makes it a bit more difficult.<br>

</font>> First question: would it be faster to use
the compressed CSS file right from the site?<br>
<br>
The performance maintenance page allows the CSS and JS
to be compressed<br>
into a single file if these performance check boxes are
enabled.<br>
<br>
> Second question is there a way to consolidate those
files (like a compressed file) onto a CDN, if they
believe strongly in CDNs?<br>
<br>
Hmm, if the performance maintenance page options are
enabled, I don't<br>
know that it matters. How is the CDN data replicated?
If the files<br>
accessed by the web page are replicated across all hosts
in the CDN then<br>
the single file should also be.<br>
