Hi,
I am using Rackspace for my CDN.
Is the time taken to serve a file the slowest the first time it is requested from a CDN?
And is this because the file has to be requested from the Cloud File Container sent to the nearest CDN server and then on again to the original request, a sort of double jump?
If this is the case is there a way of pre populating specific CDN servers (specifically London)?
Rather crudely I thought maybe I could periodically request each of the image files hosted...
