amazon s3 - CSS image sprites loading slower through CloudFront than local -
i changed css image sprites run local cloudfront , there's noticeable lag, across pages , page reloads. ideas why might happening?
moving images localhost
server (in case cloudfront) incur speed penalty (relative localhost
, certainly). because great hosting service browser has send http request via internet to server, find out whether document's been modified since cached, or not (not modified: http response 304
).
assuming document doesn't need downloaded again/re-cached should end of image-requests css (particularly if you're using css-sprites).
if image-sprites have re-downloaded because cache has expired, or document's changed, browser has download file again, via internet , network. , incurs cost due contention on own network/intranet, between house , neighbours between home , cabinet , whatever speed isp provides you.
whereas localhost
same machine, , (likely) has response measured in milliseconds. in contrast, accessing amazon's cloudfront might take second or two, that's still order of magnitude (or more) greater.
