Traditional CDNs were designed to accelerate static objects on a website by arch itecting the site to store the static

objects in a different host location, away from the main site, CNAME-ing only that host to the CDN provider. This separati on was crucial, as the CDN handled only the static pages, and the non-cacheable objects were served directly from the origin server. However, this approach is i nherently inefficient, as it requires modification of the existing site. It is a lso error prone as links internal or external may still direct to the original host.
