Using a Free Content Delivery Network

Content Delivery Networks (CDN) are a fantastic way to improve the speed of your site, user experience and save money. I've always felt they are an excellent example of cloud computing as in theory your files are hosted in various locations around the globe and you have limited specific knowledge of their physical whereabouts. This is a wonderful thing for web sites and users alike, taking advantage of large distributed cloud resources.

Noisy Cloud have recently updated two of their most common web libraries to utilise free CDN resources.

Google themselves are nice enough to offer free JQuery hosting:

and another very generous company NetDNA offer free Bootstrap hosting:

It's really very simple to update your website and provides a huge range of benefits.

Enjoy!
