He showed me the impressive laod speed of his site
and a full screen HD video.
He tolled me about a content delivery network he uses.
Just in an ohter discussion on Google search
[webmasterworld.com...]
was mentioned. Again "content delivey network"
Who has experience with this?
What brings the higher speed?
I just speed optimize my sites, and the number of page impressions has increased.
AdSense effects are difficult to evaluate in this time of decreasing CTR. Not the ideal time for testing. But I think increasing page impression compensated a little bit decreasing eCPM.
So how does it work ? the content delivery network takes your money (yeah it's not free), and they copy your content on their servers. Servers they have strategically placed around the world at very well connected ISP locations. They also have load balancing in place to guard their servers from overload as well as to match up the network location of the visitor with the network location of their servers as well as taking into account any traffic jam out there between the client and the server.
As for a blog: there are loads of things you can do to increase the speed of your own server before going to this. E.g surviving a /. headline with a blog is quite possible without response time degradation if you keep things light.
You can also try to do part of this yourself by having multiple servers loadbalanced around the world. Keeping content in sync is the hardest problem in most cases.
Adsense ... in my experience the adsense parts are of the slowest items to load on my pages. Anyway, if your site loads faster, your ads will be there sooner too and that can;t be a bad thing I guess unless you're counting on people to see ads first and click them in frustration to get to something.
What kind of traffic are you getting?
Only 0,15 million visitors a month
