You should contact the company that does control the WP CDN domain then as cdn.wrongplanet.net is then falsely claiming to be "Server: Sliqua Server Environment" in it's HTTP responses.

If you mean Cloudflare is sitting in front of cdn.wrongplanet.net, then please be serious, Cloudflare is not removing expires headers and replacing them with Etags, and Cloudflare could probably generate even fewer requests back to the Sliqua servers if it could benefit from that expires information itself. Cloudflare is not the problem.


Fair enough, but I suspect you can ask "Hey Alex - can we do a good thing that makes things slightly faster for end users at next to no effort?"

You have previously asserted Alex is not technical and you seem to help him with such decisions... if I'm wrong and you just talk to him about cars and drinking and girls then I'm sorry I miss understood your familiarity.


No we aren't. We're talking alot more data per request than that, but your right that alot will be sent in parallel...

Refreshing the forum page ( www.wrongplanet.net/posts194419-start75.html ) with a fully primed cache for that unchanged page generated 16 requests to cdn.wrongplanet.net that responded 304 Not Modified, for which a total of 19.3KB in headers were uploaded (1.2KB uploaded per request). Sure downstream these 16 requests pulled only about 184 bytes each...

Because of the way you have ETags configured (corresponding to inodes I believe) a further two requests pulled down images because the server those requests was sent to had a different idea about which ETags it should see. This added a further 2.5KB up, and an additional 3.3KB down

Additionally there were 11 static assets from www.wrongplanet.net which were responded with a 304 Not Modified header - the additional cookies on this domain mean that 69.6KB was sent in request headers for the browser to confirm these assets had not changed (the 304 responses weighed only 3.4 KB combined)

Sending almost 90KB to wrongplanet domains every page load is significant when it is almost completely avoidable, 90KB up is heavy! And I feel it's easy thing to make it go away...

That's your choice, we both understand that you don't need to follow my recommendations. You obviously understand also that I disagree.

Given I was right about the "CloudFlare Issue" a full week before you discovered the real cause was where I had said it was (being a security module on the server picking up the high traffic from cloudflare nodes as an attack), I'd have though you'd have a little more respect for my opinion, but I'm gotten quite used to your "attitude" by now, even if it's still really upsetting to continue to be treated this rudely.

The simple fact is that I don't have to post on here at all. The person I ultimately answer to is Alex. I'm here to shed what light I can on what I know about, and make suggestions. As is pointed out in my signature, I don't represent Sliqua, or WP, on this forum.

As you are - After all - Another contributer to the forums, NT or not.

Out of curiosity, Is the server "Managed", because if it isnt, there is no reason for you to care about how the server is working as it is working.

I can't comment on anything related to the actual service that's being provided. You'll just have to draw your own conclusions.
