Smugmug CDN's

Can anyone tell me which CDN's Smugmug uses?

For most purposes, can images on Smugmug be considered to be on a CDN? Would using a CDN be redundant?

I'm been having discussions with some other bloggers and I hit a point where I had to say "I don't know".

    Hey There,

    Yes, SmugMug uses CDN for your images so there is no need to use additional CDN for it. Actually if you would use an additional CDN for SmugMug - it would most likely break your site.

    SmugMug uses Amazon's CloudFront as the CDN for your images. We had previously been using CloudFlare but switched to increase reliability and delivery times. When browsing your photos on SmugMug we also pre-cache and pre-fetch images so that they display as soon as possible.

    I use Cloudflare as my DNS server. Are there any issues or conflicts that might arise?

    Hey Everything Everywhere,

    You can use CloudFlare as your DNS server - just make sure that CDN is turned OFF for those DNS records that are pointing to your SmugMug site.
