As Jeff mentioned on the SDK thread, maybe try Cloudflare.com. I've just turned it on and it's not too painful, although I had to set up my page rules just right. If you have static content, they'll gzip and cache it for you on their CDN.
One option if you don't want them proxying your whole app: deliver your content from a different subdomain and tell CF to only proxy that domain. Then all they are is a DNS host for you. Worth a try at least. On Thursday, June 21, 2012 11:05:43 PM UTC+2, Emanuele Ziglioli wrote: > > Thanks Stuart, > > indeed it looks like the same issue.
