Phil,
What edit did you make to init.php? I have 4.5.4 gold plus -- I don't think there is a difference in this file??
In your opinion, is it better to do the images (step 4) in init.php (as opposed to /include/func/func.files.php ) ? What is the benefit?
One final step that I failed to discuss: make CERTAIN that you enable robots.txt in the MaxCDN control panel. You do not want duplicate content at the search engines. I believe the crawlers will still find your original images on your site, even if they are all cached to the cdn. Right? Is that how everyone is doing this?
PS -- my page load time is now just over 1.3 seconds (was 4.5 secs+)
To further reduce page load time:
1. CloudSearch needs to use a CDN. I have asked them to do this;
2. Socialize module may be convenient, but it's a resource pig. Too many images, too many http calls. I will work on localizing these resources and getting them to the cdn.
3. Advanced Customer Reviews uses P images on the sidebar, when it only needs a 65px x 65px thumb. I'm working on making this better;
4. I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities to optimize even more, but once we get these elements to the cdn, it's diminishing returns for the effort. A 1 second page load is a zillion times better than 4.5 seconds. hard to take much more off of it.
