CDN Tools WordPress Plugin
CDN Tools is a plugin designed to help you drastically speed up your blog's load time by loading data onto a content distribution network (CDN).
CDN Tools is a WordPress plugin that allows you to load javascript and media files to an external server to drastically speed page loads. You can sideload data to a commercial CDN or just load your larger JS libraries (prototype, jquery) for free from Google's servers. CDN Tools has been designed to be as easy to use as possible, so give it a shot! Your blog's readers will thank you. At this time the only commercial CDN supported is Cloud Files. Check out the plugin homepage to view a screencast.
1.0 requires you to reload your files! Do not upgrade until you're ready to reload.
