For the past few weeks I have been working on the upcoming CDN offering we (UK2 Group) are working on, one of my newest favorite features is called “Origin Pull”.
Origin Pull basically means when somebody hits your site for the first time via one of the CDN pop’s, all of it’s new (referenced) content is cached by the CDN and will, from then on, be served by the CDN network directly (via the closest pop).
Originally I was not keen on it, as I did not understood it, I preferred the option to upload to the CDN directly, but the more I use it, the more I like it, also enjoy retaining the control over the content on my own storage.
Cool Stuff.
