Static Sites: Configuration and Optimization
Today, we’ll be talking about hosting static sites in Cloud Storage. More specifically, we’ll be looking at how they can be set up and optimized.
From a user’s point of view, one of the most important criteria for a site is its load time. If a site takes too long to load for one reason or another, it will lose visitors who simply don’t want to wait. To increase a site’s speed, optimization must occur.
Below are some of our tips for optimizing static sites in Cloud Storage and decreasing load times.
Guaranteed or Shared Bandwidth: Choosing the Right Channel
Web projects rely heavily on their Internet connection; no online service today can function normally without good bandwidth. Overlooking the speed and quality of your Internet connection can lead to serious consequences: loss of users, damaged reputation, lack of revenue, etc.

Connecting the Cloud to a CDN
Websites sometimes contain a substantial amount of heavy static content: JavaScript and CSS libraries, images, binary files, etc. Unfortunately, storing and distributing this content can sometimes be problematic.
