    Speed up your web 2.0 site and lower your bandwidth bill

    Yes, with this tip you do that instantly. So what?s the catch? Well you take advantage of Google CDN over by using content freely available at Google Libraries API. Due the fact that Google has tons of traffic there is big possibility that your surfer will have that content allready cached in its browser?s cache (hence speed up) - even if surfer doesn?t have it, he will download it over Google CDN saving you bandwidth (which can be significant considering some JS frameworks have well over 100kB) and lowering resource usage on your server.

    So Google offers big JavaScript frameworks like jQuery, MooTools, Prototype, script.aculo.us but also some useful JS thingies like SWFObject and WebFont Loader.

              You can also try out using a CDN for only $10 for the first 1000gigs...

              I had a wordpress server (meaning it had 30 blogs on it only) and it was sitting around 3.14 load (which is kind of OK for a quad core which is a 4 at 100%). It also did about 1.6mbs in BW...

              I moved the CSS, JS and images to MaxCDN.com and went to a server load around 1.45 and down to 800kbps in BW. So it instantly saved me BW cash per month and the pages loaded about 300% faster, or from 2.8 to 3.4 seconds to load to less than a second to as high as 1.5 seconds.

              Plus, now the pages are sent from all over the world... If you live in Germany you hit the Amsterdam server and get lighting quick loads. If you live in Oklahoma you hit the Texas server and so on...
