CDN Tools is a plugin designed to help you drastically speed up your blog's load time by loading data onto a content distribution network (CDN).

== Description ==

[CDN Tools](http://swearingscience.com/cdn-tools/ "CDN Tools Home") is a WordPress plugin that allows you to load javascript and media files to an external server to drastically speed page loads.  You can sideload data to a commercial CDN or just load your larger JS libraries (prototype, jquery) for **free** from Google's servers.  CDN Tools has been designed to be as easy to use as possible, so give it a shot!  Your blog's readers will thank you.  At this time the only commercial CDN supported is Cloud Files.

== Installation ==

1. Upload cdn-tools/ into wp-content/plugins/
2. Activate the plugin via the 'Plugins' menu.
3. Go to the 'CDN Tools' option under settings.
4. Enable the Google AJAX libs if you wish to load jquery and prototype from Google's servers.
5. If you have a CDN, enable your CDN and enter the login and password.
6. Once you have saved the prefs a "Load Files" button will appear.  Click it!
7. You're all set!

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Could you add XXXX CDN compatibility? =

I would love to, but I am not currently willing to buy accounts and pay to develop for every possible CDN out there.  If you'd like to supply me with a test account so I can support your favorite CDN I'd be happy to.  Drop me a comment on the CDN Tools home page.

= I found a bug. What do I do? =

Contact me!  This is a complex plugin and the only way I can ensure it's robust is to get bug reports and fix the problems that crop up.  Please include as much information as you can when reporting (PHP version, your blog's site, the error you saw and how you got to the page that caused it, et cetera).

== CDN Loader Dev FAQ ==

= How do I create a new CDN class? =

Create a directory in cdn_classes named whatever the shortname will be.  Then create a file named loader.php inside with the same basic structure as the cloudfiles loader and do everything right. Then edit the cdn-tools.php file to add your item.  Easy as pie (if your pie is made of complexity).  I promise I'll write some better instructions so third parties can contribute CDN plugins at some point.  Currently CDN Tools probably makes some assumptions that are Cloud Files specific.
