Using CloudFlare to mix domain sharding and SPDY

What this post added

This post explains the performance implications of domain sharding in the context of SPDY. It details how, with SPDY, domain sharding can actually hurt performance due to the overhead of multiple SSL negotiations. The post then demonstrates a solution: using a single certificate across multiple subdomains allows SPDY to consolidate connections, achieving the benefits of both domain sharding and SPDY. It also highlights Cloudflare's role in making this configuration easy to implement.
