To continue with our series of website optimization tricks, I’ll talk a little bit more about Content Delivery Network (CDN), and will talk you though the steps of creating a totally free CDN for your website.

Assets such as stylesheets, images and videos are often the major hit taken by a webserver when a webpage is loaded. I’m often trying to improve my page loads by using published pages (flat html) and rewrites, so I don’t need to run a dynamic page when it’s not necessary.

I then had a very specific spec for it, which is as follows:
- I need to get my calendar pushed to my iPhone;
- The calendar must be a merge of my personal calendar, and my business
calendar; - I still want to be able to pick up my google mail emails;
- I DO NOT want it to pick up my business emails (as I prefer to
pick them up another way); - The calendar must be available anywhere and at anytime
