  • I’m using Amazon’s CloudFront to speed op my site (a lot; about 80% faster). To make this a no-brainer I made a plugin that converts all local images to CDN URLs. This is not Amazon-specific; just change the $cdn array to match your URLs and it will work.

    Disclaimer
    Use this at your own risk; this is just a first attempt to write a CDN URL plugin. There will most likely be bugs, but so far it’s working great for me. Code is still a bit messy though; could use some cleanup.

    How does it work?
    - The plugin is fired just before the page is rendered (OnWebPagePrerender event)
    - Every local image (whether inside img, a or input tag) on the page is checked for existence on the CDN
    - If a CDN version exists the image URL (src) is replaced by a CDN URL
    - The CDN URL is also cached so that it will always be the same (prevents too much checking as well)
    - If a CDN version does not exist, the local image is used

    <?php
    class CDN {
    
        var $cdn; //array of CDN hostnames
        var $cdncache = array(); //files already checked to be on CDN
    
        function __construct($output, &$modx) {
            $this->modx = $modx;
    
            $this->cdn = array('http://cdna.kenters.com', 'http://cdnb.kenters.com', 'http://cdnc.kenters.com', 'http://cdnd.kenters.com');
    
            //get cached images
            $this->cdncache = $this->modx->cacheManager->get('cdncache');
            if(!is_array($this->cdncache)) {
                $this->cdncache = array();
            }
        }
    
        function process($output) {
    
            $output = preg_replace_callback('|<img(?:.+?)src\=\"(\S+)\"|', array($this ,'doCDN'), $output);

            $this->modx->cacheManager->set('cdncache', $this->cdncache,7200);
    
            return $output;

      Hi,

      this plugin is for Revolution, right?

      thanks, j
      • Yep, it’s a revo plugin. Just posted this here because it’s only a simple plugin and still experimental.
