Vae Guide

vae_cdn_url()

Use the vae_cdn_url() function to retrieve the URL prefix for accessing any file on your site via a CDN (content delivery network).

In order for your website to be CDN-enabled, you must request this from Vae support. Currently, there is no additional charge for CDN usage, however it may slightly increase the amount of bandwidth used by your site, as some bandwidth will be spent sending content to the CDN nodes.

If we have not configured your site for use with one or more CDNs, this function will return the URL prefix of your domain.

We may eventually return different values each time you call this function to distribute our traffic across multiple CDN networks in a round-robin fashion, although we do not do this now.
