CDNs made simple fast and cheap

Parent Feed: 
Beer and developer conferences go hand in hand.

A few weeks ago I presented “CDNs made simple fast and cheap” at the Drupal Downunder conference in Melbourne Australia.

The talk covered:

  • the importance of good client side performance,
  • how A CDN works,
  • recommended CDN providers (from an Australian’s perspective),
  • a demonstration of how to set up a CDN and
  • a summary of the results (better YSlow score and page download times).


Setting up a CDN is very easy to do and cost effective. If you want you users to have the best online experience then there is nothing stopping you!

The CDN presentation is available as PDF slides and a video.

Thanks to my employer PreviousNext who kindly sponsored my trip to Melbourne. Hats off to Wim Leers for contributing the CDN module.
