CDN Tools

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.

CDN Loader Dev FAQ

How do I create a new CDN class?

Create a directory in cdn_classes named whatever the shortname will be. Then create a file named loader.php inside with the same basic structure as the cloudfiles loader and do everything right. Then edit the cdn-tools.php file to add your item. Easy as pie (if your pie is made of complexity). I promise I’ll write some better instructions so third parties can contribute CDN plugins at some point. Currently CDN Tools probably makes some assumptions that are Cloud Files specific.
