Redfin content now CDN’d
Redfin content is now being served up by a CDN (Content Delivery Network). Initial reports indicate that we serve up static content much faster (though not likely for Seattle users since you are already very close to the content.) While not the answer to our performance problems it is one step closer to a faster site. …In our next release we are doing a bunch of work to minimize the number of round trip requests we make both as part of our AJAX app and for static content.
Here’s a comment from another company worried about performance, Ev on Twitter performance:
Note: It is not good luck to post about how you’ve solved your performance issues. So this is not that. There will surely be more.
