    I never noticed objects on DP is loading from a CDN url.
    Don't you use a CDN?

    All I know is CDN makes the page loading faster by pulling the objects from a server near the user. Or am I missing something?

    I think images just have their own server, not a CDN.

    Don't need a third party CDN. Static content is only fetched from the servers once every 2 months, and there is very little static content here to begin with.

    Got you..

    ** A little offtopic **
    How do you do that? I'd like to see your htaccess or httpd.conf rules for them if possible. (as you are serving static contents from dpstatic.com).

    Nothing too fancy, the relevant part of conf file is this:

    Header set Cache-Control "public, max-age=5184000"
Header unset Accept-Ranges
    Code (apache):
