This blog article gives a good illustration of why I built InstaCDN. Getting your js/css/image assets combined, minified, gzipped and served from a CDN is tedious and error prone.
The article describes how to install some prerequisite minification software and perform series of configuration steps that span python, html, apache/lighttpd. It seems likely that his instructions will provide improved performance, but there's no CDN integration, some configuration details are left up to the reader to puzzle out and the comments already include some "gotchas" from real world configuration interactions.
InstaCDN is an alternative approach that does all the right stuff through a trivial REST API.
Would love some feedback, and to find out if/how it's breaking any of your complex css/js.

- inerte 16y agoSeems nice, but I would try just to see it working and then give up. You have bills and it's a free service... Not having any kind of paid plan or income strategy makes you look suspicious.
- anotherpaulg 16y agoIt's just a side project right now. And amazon cloudfront is amazingly inexpensive. It would take a lot of adoption before I would need to start charging anyone.
