Private CDN

[ylavoie]

Hi,

My site has bad CDN rating because I use one that is not on the approved list.
Would you consider adding an option for a user string to specify private CDNs?
This way, a developer could see improvements while implementing proper separation between dynamic and static site content.

I suggest adding a new pane in the advanced settings for user specified CDNs.

Thanks,

Yves

It's not so much an "approved" list as it is a list of CDN's that we know about. Is the CDN you are using a public CDN offering or is it really private (i.e. you have your own gslb and servers across the world)?

One thing I'm considering is having the CDN list as a config setting on the server so you could tweak it for private installs but I prefer not to make it configurable at test time, at least without thinking through how to present the fact that a custom list was used.

Currently the CDN is completely private and not global. I may reconsider in the future but currently the users are all in the province of Quebec.

I see your point. What I am trying to achieve is a way to point at the real problems. Most of the files are pulled from the CDN, but a few aren't.
