@Shawn Rebelo I believe based on your strong opinionated comments that you don’t have a strong knowledge of how Apache and PHP work. Or any other server for that matter.
1) You are right, not everyone would want ot or can do this. For example a low traffic site would likely not want to bother. A high traffic site would definitely want to do this though. In fact if you view the source of almost any high traffics site you can see this being done.

2) There is no real difference from loading from a sub-domain vs another domain. It all boils down to how you want to set it up, also as mentioned, if you site currently sets cookies in the root *.domain.com or domain.com space then you would need to use another domain instead of a sub-domain.

3) If you are using a LAMP stack, then cookies are sent with each request to the server. Keyword is request meaning it does not matter the file type, the browser is going to send the cookies!

Although I understand the concept, the whole idea is abusrd.

1. Not everyone can do this or would even want to.

2. Whats the difference of loading from a sub domain of the main domain when it is all still on the same domain?

3. Cookies on images and CSS and JS? What?!?! Since when and why? Why not just resolve that issue from there instead of making people jump through hoops.

There is no reason those files should even be cookied. In fact, nothing should be cookied unless set by the website.

I see this causing a lot of problems with people and specific applications. And just an all around headache to have to even do to what? Please YSlow?

We are all to busy trying to reach certain standards when in fact the sites are fine, people use them and browse them and hardly ever complain about anything that these places talk about. Is a joke really.

Just my 2 cents on this topic. I enjoy complicated things, when they make sense. THis does not make sense when the issue can be nipped in the bud elsewhere.

Im sure this was helpful to others, helped me understand it a bit more. Just not logical at all.

@Tobbias “Setting up some random subdomains for js, css and images etc is good to spread the http load…”

Is there any the http load gain when the static subdomain is on the same server then the main domain?
