    We have clients who are using CDN for increasing the performance of the website. Keeping images will not slow your server, it will slow down the loading time. CDN will mirror the static files from a nearest source for faster loading time. For what website are you trying to implement CDN?

    CDNs are primarily used by larger sites with shit-loads of visitors such as Mashable.

    CDN works by mirroring all your data into multiple servers and delivering the content from the nearest server.
    You can do it yourself by using nginx and mod_geoip. If you hire a system admin he can do it for you.

    For my active site I'm using MaxCDN to serve javascript and css files. It's been a tremendous help in taking load off my server. I'll be moving images to CDN soon too.

    Yes, it is true that CDN will help in speeding up your page loading especially when you have many static contents. We are currently providing the introduction promo for our CDN. If you are interested, you can contact me via PM.

    Yeah. CDN will surely increase the web site load time. CDN copies the pages of a Web site to a network of servers that are detached at geographically different locations, caching the contents of the page. When a user requests a Web page that is part of a CDN, the CDN will redirect the request from the originating site's server to a server in the CDN that is closest to the user and deliver the cached content

    CDN is still pretty expensive; in a case you’ve got a large traffic (hundreds of terabytes). The best you can do is to purchase two servers – one in Europe and the other in USA – and to install Nginx as a web server and to send your content depending on the location of the user
